The great tit (Parus major) is a passerine bird in the tit family Paridae. It is a widespread and common species throughout Europe, the Middle East, Central Asia and east across the Palearctic to the Amur River, south to parts of North Africa where it is generally resident in any sort of woodland; most great tits do not migrate except in extremely harsh winters. Until 2005 this species was lumped with numerous other subspecies. DNA studies have shown these other subspecies to be distinctive from the great tit and these have now been separated as two distinct species, the cinereous tit of southern Asia, and the Japanese tit of East Asia. The great tit remains the most widespread species in the genus Parus.
I tried something different with this macro shot of the stamen. I set the camera to Super macro as usual but also set it to instant zoom cropping the amount of excess petal around the heart of the flower by two.
Although it's not easy to use the two settings without a tripod, thankfully I had a good solid wall to lean on.
Connected to this photo which was taken on the super macro setting only. Will be interested if it really has made a difference, so comments welcome..

Creo que lo que había a los lados más que aportar distraen en la imagen, así que le he dado todo el protagonismo al agua y esas rocas que dan juego con esos colores...
I think that what I had on the sides more than contribute distract in the image, so I have given all the prominence to the water and those rocks that match those colors ...
