I shot this Chick-a-dee this morning the lighting was really bad the melting snow was acting like one big reflector and bouncing the sun in all directions these are the settings I used and the result I got.Post editing consisted of a levels adjustment,resizing, sharpening and color space change. Canon 10D, Sigma 70-300mm DG lens, f6.3, 1/125 ss and ISO 100.
