Prothonotary Warbler

[Tim Vidrine]

This image was captured in the Atchafalaya NWR. This is one of my first set for the year. Great to see these guys back in the basin.

C&C welcome.

nice to see "some detail" in the yellow Tim, many struggle with that.
Like the lookback eye contact

Dave, I substracted 15 from the yellows in Hue\Saturation. A lesson learned from my previous images on BPN.

[Stu Bowie]

Those yellow's are certainly well exposed, and what a cute little guy.

[Arsdel Fluesmeier]

Very wellexposed, clean , very well done.

Tim:

A pretty bird. Nice technicals. I enjoy the small vine winding around the perch, it pulls the color of the background into the perch. It might have been interesting if you could have moved just enough to your left to get all of the bird against the lighter background swath. Not better neccessarily, but might make his beak pop out a bit more.

Thanks for sharing.

Tim I love the pose and colour on this bird. The perch is a bit large but I'd be very hapy to have this image in my collection.

[Mike Lentz]

Just a beautiful species and you've done it justice!

[Kim Rollins]

Very well done in my opinion.

Good color and detail.

[Tim Vidrine]

Thanks everyone for the taking the time to leave comments and suggestions. To get this image, I used a lot of the wonderful suggestions from BPN to improve my previous images that I've posted.

Beautiful little bird, and very nice details !

[Graham Smith.]

Such a nice capture - I haven't seen many photos of this species.
Beautiful details and colours.

[Mark Dumbleton]

Beautiful - Colours, BG, pose and composition!
Those yellows pop so well! Well done
