Green on green
Wood Warbler
Good to see these back again.
Especially the way things have been so far this year.
Don't like the perch a lot but thats how they are.
Not my sharpest of shots but what does it matter
D200
800 ISO
500th sec @f8
Sigma 50-500 mm
80% of frame
Levels etc, bright leaf cloned out in back.
Cheers

I think if it were mine the leaves in the background top left would have to go, but I would have been more than pleased to have taken this.

Hi John,

Personally i like the leaves in the BG as this matches the habitat these live in.
So think the BG could use a little noise reduction though.

Lovely pose and well captured.

greetings,

Lovely bird in a lovely setting JR. Leaves are OK by me, perhaps reduce saturation a tad to make them less imposing? Have these in our local woods and I love to hear them sing.

As a lover of hazel I can't really fault the twig. :biggrin: :wink: A BOAS to be proud of John.

Too saturated for my likings, would clone out the twig. Like the position of the bird and background.

I know what you mean although no saturation was added. I agree though and I suppose with green leaves on the trees, green background, green grass and sedge on the floor, and a greenish bird, the the pic is going to look a bit -eerrr - green :biggrin:
Thanks for comments all
