Singing the Blues
Ok, the title may be a bit cheesy but it's the best I could think of :wink:

This is a young Blue Tit calling for food in the warm evening sunlight.
It was on a feeding station about 10 feet from my house and was shot through my living room window.

Minolta Dynax 7D (now deceased after I dropped it)
Sigma 50-500 EX
1/300th second
f6.3
ISO 400
500mm
-0.7 stop exposure compensation
Centre-weighted metering
