Waving in the wind

GRAY SQUIRREL TAIL, EVANSTON, ILLINOIS, JANUARY 16, 2013

Pentax K-01
Sigma 135-400 at 400mm
1/1000 sec. f9.5
ISO 1600

I was testing the focus peaking of my new K-01 mirrorless camera with a long lens just to see how it would turn out, and this shot of a squirrel tail caught in the breeze was the result. Notice how spindly and skinny the actual tail is—no wonder squirrel haters call the species "tree rats".
