Yellow-Rumped Warbler

[Chris Zink]

This was taken at Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge in Maryland, USA 3 weeks ago. I didn't see the colors and shadings in the background until I got back and really looked at it.

Information:
Nikon D300s
1/640 sec
F/7.1
ISO 1000
Lens 600 mm f/4
Focal length 850 mm (used 1.4 teleconverter)

Comments and critiques appreciated.

Wild colours in the BG! Looks like it's in an aquarium and looking up for a way to get out :-) Details look a bit suspect...a big crop? Rather noisy too. Iw ould either crop out or fill in the dark area in ULC.

Thanks Daniel. Yeah, this was maybe 33% of the size of the original image. Also, I was experimenting with noise levels with a new camera and likely should have dropped the ISO a bit. Thanks for your thoughts.
