Maker's notes:

This image was shot on my back deck on 12/22/2022.  Oscar is a regular visitor to our deck in the winter months.  The image was hot hand held with by Canon 7D Mark II and a 18-135mm lens set at 135mm.Camera was set in Aperture Priority mode at f/5,6, ISO800 resulting in a shutter speed of 1/250th sec.  I set the aperture and ISO so I could get at least 1/250th sec. handheld.  Post processing was done mostly in Lightroom with printing from Photoshop.
