Dark-eyed Junco

Another image from yesterday morning.  The perch is a nicely deteriorating old round that I use to stash hazelnuts for the Steller's Jays.  Unfortunately, they were too fast for me to catch them yesterday and were always moving too fast by the time I got the shutter released.  However, I did get a couple of other species to pose nicely on the top of it. 

In this case I didn't have sufficient depth-of-field to get the entire perch in focus and has an area directly under the middle of the bird that didn't like.  I managed to find a nearby frame where that area was in decent focus so I copied that part of the secon image and cloned it over the oof area.

7Dii, Sigma 150-600 C @ 435 mm, Jobu Gimbal mounted to blind window, f/9, 1/320, iso 1600, aperture priority, pattern metering, -1/3 EV.  Processed in LR & PS CC.  Cropped to 16.4 MP before resizing.  I also did a bit of cloning on the bg to tame an overly bright oof grass stem in the bg.  Taken at 10:04 am on October 20th under mostly cloudy skies.

Please view the larger image, if possible.
