Yellow-rumped Warbler

Well I went out walking this afternoon without a camera and missed out on a oppt. with a Kestrel so I decided to go home and grab my camera and hoped for a return visit from the small Falcon to no avail.
But I was happy to at least walk away with this shot of this little Warbler. Like I was telling Doug Brown earlier as we were speaking that good oppts. are missed because of not having a camera oh well....:( It happens all the time. Right?

Hi James
Bit of a shock seeing this after all your raptors. :)
It appears the focus was on the vegetation rather than the bird? Well, the lower half of the bird appears much sharper than the head area. I am looking at a web image though.
Like the pose, head angle too and the BG is wonderful.
Cheers

Nice image and composition, James. I like the pose and the perch. Beautiful bg and lighting.

Love the light and the "feel" to this image. I'm not sure about anyone else but I've found that YRW seem "soft" when it comes to their feathers and trying to get detail in them to show.

Thanks for comments after looking at this from the original post it does look as if it needed more sharpening.... :D Does it look better?

What a shock to see you post something other than a raptor! Gorgeous light, perch and subject here. Re-post does look sharper.

Repost rocks. For sure this image made up for the missed oppt. Very nice light, pose and colors. Love the perch too.

That's why I never leave home without a body and my 600 Jim! The repost looks great!
