Peekaboo!

I'm not sure about the ID on this one. From the state of the plumage I think it's a juvenile and I think it's either a Common Yellowthroat or a Wilson's Warbler. I saw adult males of both species in the same area.

7Dii, Sigma 150-600 c0ntemporary at 562mm, f/6.3 (could have been a bit higher for more dof), 1/800, iso 640, aperture priority, pattern metering, -1/3 stop compensation. Processed in LR5 & CS6. Cropped to 9.34 MP. Taken at our local nature preserve at 6:43 am on July 28th.

I appreciate your comments on the Wren and look forward to your input on this image.

Thanks,

Dennis, considering all the stuff you had to shoot around and the stuff in the BG, f/6.3 was a reasonable choice. Except for a little softness around the eye, the subject has good detail. It sure is capturing the market on cute! cool

A head Scratcher for sure, a most unique head position. Very well done!

HI Dennis

What can you say when a bird will stand on it's head for you. Maybe you could have cropped a little off the right side of the frame, but given that I really like the shot.
