D90; 80-400 VR @ 310mm. ISO 800. f.7.1 @ 1/800s. Matrix metering @ -0.3 EV. HH.
This cute fellow chirped to catch my attention as I was on a walk yesterday (actually chirped at his mate who was nearby). I shot this essentially from the hip. By the time I realized I wasn't fully zoomed out, and tried to move for a better shot, he was gone. As a result this is a large crop - 40% of original. I tried not to oversharpen in search of more detail than I owned, but I'm not sure I got it right -- this is one of my nemeses. Let me know what you think. C&C appreciated.
