Description

Hi Friends I have captured this little guy (Southern Masked Weaver) in my garden last weekend. The image is a tad grainy as I was shooting with my 500mm lens in rather gloomy light conditions, so I was forced to eventually shoot at 1600 ISO. Thank you for popping in and for your very valued comments on my previous upload. I am also fairly busy at work again and am struggling to keep up with commenting myself. Please forgive!! Take care. Hugs, Carin xx

Stupendous capture. If you hadn't told us, I would have thought you planned the shot this way!

Utterly amazing and lovely capture of the demure little tweeter considering the adverse conditions, Carin! Stellar framing effects, also. And, yes, I do miss your comments.
