Yellow Warbler

Gallery: AvianPosted July 28, 2010193 views13 comments

From last Saturday morning. I liked the open perch that still includes the habitat feel.

7D, 500mm f4 + 1.4TC, Black Widow on Gitzo legs, f8, 1/1600, iso 400, Av mode with -1/3 compensation, normal processing in CS4 with less sharpening than usual. Cropped to about 30% of the original horizontal. Subject distance 11m.

Your comments and criticisms are always appreciated.

Thanks for looking,

Awesome Dennis. Great job on all the techs and I love the yellow bird against the blue sky.

Very nice pose and comp Dennis. I like the perch and the clean look at the warbler. I do think the large crop has produced some noise in the larger version.

Dennis I love the perch and the composition, and the subject is naturally sharp with great eye contact. Very well done!!

very nice head turn and the contrast between the yellow of the warbler and the sky is great!

A fine image. The position gives this a nice tense feel.

This is just the way these little guys look around here too, Dennis. Fine, realistic shot. I like how the composition managed to include the berries at the bottom as well as the bird above center.
