It's not often the water freezes here in the Phoenix Arizona area, but this past weekend I was trying to get settled down to get a frozen pond level shot of Dunlin's on ice when this cold little yellowthroat popped out of the bushes and right in front of me, you can see the frost on the grass and some on his head, this is the best shot of one of these I have ever gotten.

Great close shot, and excellent detail, sharpness. I've been trying to shoot yellowthroat and most are blurred. May want to remove twigs on L side, and one across tail. Would have been great if you were able to the feet. He looks bummed about the frost.
Body is nice and sharp, but the head is quite soft...Was he really close to you? I think f9 or 10 may have worked better ,and the feet are clipped...Good detail on the body
