Great Tit in flight

This shot of a Great Tit (Parus major) over a lake is no keeper (it's noisy and the subject isn't sharp) but there's something about the feel of the image I like. There is, I think, a painterly quality to the light and the composition and, more prosaically, I like that the bird is carrying a seed to consume later or perhaps to pass on to young.

Canon 1DS Mk III, 1/5000th sec, f/9, ISO 1600, focal length 200mm
