Black-crested Titmouse on a cold windy morning. Shot yesterday here in Central Texas.
F/9, 1/800th, ISO 400, Canon 1D M3, 300mm f/2.8 + 1.4x ext and natural light. Greater than 75% of FF. I used a new Manfrotto 322RC2 Joystick Head Short on this, works great

Sweet image, Howard. I like the pose a lot. I think I might crop a bit off the bottom.

I composed this to a standard 2:3
The 4:5 ratio wouldn't leave me quite enough..
