 Blue Tits are tiny, never stay still, and move incredibly fast. The only way I have found of capturing one in flight is to observe individual birds flight and feeding behaviour, and then pre focus at a spot on the predicted flight path. Several hours of sitting in a hide, but good fun.

Not sure if your intent was to capture a photo like this (slightly OOF and blurred) or if you just worked with what you had in post to create this 'artwork' type image. ??? In the end it feels more like a painting than a photograph. Still kinda neat in an artful way.
