Critique Coal Tit

[Lost_Manc]

Another one from my snowed in weekend in Wales so ill not bore everyone with the story again!

A rare appearance on the day and in the wood was this lovely little Coal Tit.

Much like my previous two shots from the day I have had to crop in heavily to pull off the composition in the edit. DxO Photolab and DeepPrime to the rescue here!
Think I've just missed focus on the top of the birds head and thats possibly being exaggerated by the heavy crop and associated IQ drop.

Settings:

200mm (300mm equivalent APSc)
f6.4
ISO 1250
1/400s

Any comments and critique welcome as ever.

Thank you John.
Regarding focus/sharpness that’s just probably from me pixel peeping it whilst editing. I’m perfectly happy with it though.
