Yellow Warbler

Gallery: AvianPosted June 23, 201191 views7 comments

I made several attempts at getting close enough to a Yellow Warbler for a decent shot, without success. Then, on a casual lunch time walk, this guy popped up just a few feet away. One burst of three shots is all I got, and this was the best.

All comments and critiques welcome.

Perfectly handled yellows and a really nice background. Good catchlight too

Really nice Jeff. The soft light worked well as the yellows look great. Bird is sharp with good detail too.

This is a beauty Jeff. They never stop moving. Nice catching him with such a lovely background. Nice head turn and everything looks nice and sharp.
