Male Common Yellowthroat.

[Daniel Cadieux]

One of the most exciting times of the year...the Spring arrival of warblers in their fresh breeding plumages!

Canon 7DII + 500mm f/4 II + 1.4TC III, manual exposure, evaluative metering, 1/1000s., f/8, ISO 800, natural light, handheld, FF, toned down some areas of the perch, destaurated the yellow throat (boy was it vivid!). Audio used.

Certainly a beauty Dan, perfect pose and the perch complements well. The BG graduates in just the right area as well.

Stunning background and light Daniel, I also really like the perch and head angle, and great to get a foot out in the open. Cant really see anything wrong with this one, other than you may have got a little closer and improved the feather detail. Well done!

[Frank Schauf]

Excellent light, details and bg, Daniel.

Hi Dan,don't see anything that I would change,lovely smooth bg and a nice perch,enough feather detail for me giving the bird a very natural look.
