Gorgeous shot! Love it with the juniper berry in its beak!
Just took a look at the lens you're using - that is one incredible prime lens and it definitly shots in the shots in your gallery!

Thanks Mike for the great comment! I'm not sure about the sex - in the winter plummage they look very similar (to me at least). I'm always in burst mode when shooting but hardly use it at it's full speed of 5 frames per second, just to keep the focus point constant (half release). I usually use Aperture priority with partial metering but if the
light permits I use my incident light meter and go to manual exposure. Here I'm not sure what I used, the pbase exif display is not as complete and correct as I'd wish for. I'll check again later with the original...

Excellent timing to capture the seed pellet in the beaak, and good foreground background separation. I'm assuming this is a male? Did you shoot this one in burst mode? BTW, in using the various expsosure modes, which one do you find works best in such situations (very bright foreground, much darker background)? I note you used "average" rather than "partial."
