Bush Blackcap amongst tiny apples...

Bush Blackcap in the Drakensberg

I was chuffed with how this photograph came out given the poor light conditions (as is the case in forest-like environments) and that it was handheld.
I was able to keep the 7d within ISO 800 to prevent the IQ suffering too much. I was using my 100 to 400 f5.6 lens on this one at 220 (was super close to him).
Look forward to your comments...

Small crop, changed the exposure and brightness, sharpened for web, and changed the colour range to get rid of a green tinge.

Nice pose in habitat, and good feather detail. I don't know the bird, but I'm wondering if there isn't some bluish cast to this.

Amazing techs! I couldn't handhold that lens at 1/50 and get a sharp image. Yes, I see the color cast as well, but am very happy that I opened this post. Cute little bird and habitat well handled.
