Yellowhammer looking for food in the cold weather, they seem to get more and more adventurous in their search for food as the weather gets colder.

Canon 7D canon 500mm f4 lens, f4, 1/800sec ISO 800

Ron, I think this is a lovely capture and it appears quite sharp. The white in the background is a bit distracting IMO; I would suggest darkening it very slightly.

Cheers,

Carol

Very nice, the OOF whites in the BG don't bother me, helps to set the scene IMHO. Thanks for sharing.

Nice one Ron - I like the splash of yellow against the drabness of winter.

cheers
