Common Yellowthroat

Another pose of the same bird I posted a week or so ago. This is a bit more conventional pose, but I still like it for the energy it shows.

1DIV, 500mm ISL + 1.4TC, Black Widow on RRS legs, f8, 1/1250, iso640, Av mode with no compensation. Cropped to 5.4 MP with normal processing in CS5. Taken August 5th at 7:45 am on the edges of an oak riparian area at the county natural area next door.

Your comments and criticisms are always appreciated.

Thanks for looking,

I like this light & shadow, great tail up pose with the little one showing lots of character.
Very good detail/DOF, colors, and nicely composed also..
Well done!:toast:

Fine detail and a lovely neutral BG. I wish the bird were a little less facing forward, to hopefully bring the tail feathers into focus. You are right about the energy. :toast:

I like it, too. I'm always a fan of muted color harmony like this.
