Spotted Nutcracker Singing on a Tuning fork.

This Spotted Nutcracker decided to shake off its typical shyness and sit right in front of us. The afternoon Sun was blazing but the chilly wind was so powerful it ruffled the Nutcracker’s feathers and made us shiver at 14000 ft ASL, Eastern Himalayas. For this reason I decided to go for f5.6 from f8 and get as much shutter speed as I can (not comfortable at higher ISOs) as the perch was was shaking.

(Nikon D500 & 500 f4) Shutter - 1/1600, F - 5.6, ISO – 800;

I APPRECIATE CRITICISMS.
THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR VIEWING & INPUTS.
