Was trying for photos of birds in our backyard crab apple tree, some what of a gusting windy day. A pair of house finches showed up, but only stopped for a minute or 2. This is a large crop of the original.

Canon T3i
1/500 @ F-16 +2/3 ISO 400
Sigma 150-500 @ 500mm
OS off, tripod, spot meter

I like the pose and the perch. I think I might try a vertical crop of the image for comp. purposes. Without a larger version it is hard to tell about the sharpness of the image.
