Juvi Yellow Warbler

Gallery: AvianPosted March 10, 2014107 views8 comments

Hi Everyone! Me and my family were driving in Waterton Lakes National Park (Alberta) looking for bears this summer when we found a small flock of waxwings. My sister, my dad and I all got out to get some pictures when I spotted this little warbler! We all ended up getting some decent pictures but Jenaya and my dad decided I could be the one to show you.

I hope you like it!

I wonder whether you are related to Jenaya, Josiah? This is a very pleasing image. You have done a great job using the rule of thirds for your composition by placing your subject in the upper third of the frame. The yellow bird works nicely against the green background and he's got a great pose going on.

I do believe you are already a nature photographer!!!

Well done.

Good comp, all the techs look good, the detail is nice and his pose and the fluff factor are nice extras.

Nice detail and I like the fluffed-out pose, Josiah. Good job getting close enough to catch this with that short a lens.

Very nice composition on this one Josiah. Great placement i=of the bird in the frame, good clean complimentary background and pleasing environment surrounding the warbler. I also like the fluffed up look. Looking forward to seeing more from you!

Thank you everybody for the nice comments! He was sure hard to follow with the lens because of how much he moved all over the place but I'm glad I got this one!
