Keep your peckers up
Taken this morning in our garden a chance encounter.
1D3 hand held as ever sigma 50-500mm ISO 400 1/800 sec @ f/16 Auto focus.

Still getting to grips with settings.

Critique and comments most welcome.

Thanks

Are these yellow bellied sap suckers? Now thats a corking name. I like the interaction, but a tad over saturated even for me.

This is a nice comp Barry :toast:

Looks underexposed to me - but I suspect it's more a processing fault than a camera exposure error, though an 800th at f16 seems an odd ev given the amount of shadow in the center area of the frame.
