    Just a Tufted Titmouse but I like his pose. I hope you enjoy!

    1DsMII, 400mm IS DO, f/7.1, 1/200, Av mode, EC -1/3, ISO 640, feeder setup, from a blind, tripod with Wimberly
    PP: Levels, sats, worked on sharpening the eye.

    Thanks for your C & C.

    Interesting pose and the open beak adds to it. I wish for a lower angle and might selectively sharpen the head some more.

    Thanks Axel. Do you mean I should have been lower or the bird should have been lower? Thanks.

    I mean it would have been good if you could have been higher or alternatively backed up a few steps. Since you were in a blind, maybe you could pull it back and add a 1.4x TC.

    Love the squawk but not the steep angle to the bird. At a set-up I would go for a thinner more attractive perch.
