Yellow Warbler

[Jeff Sorbie]

Nikon D300s & Sigma 150-500mm

1/1000
f/6.3
ISO1600 @ 500mm

Shot on a cloudy morning in Kanata, Ontario outside my work office. Going to work on a Sunday is always a good thing when you are talking pictures instead of working...:S3:

NR, Sharpening and some OOF Object Removal.

Hey Jeff,
Excellent use of office time! Yellows look hot on my monitor by throat. Good pose and perch.....slight turn towards us would have taken this up a notch. I prefer tighter comps.....but you will definitely get debate there! Minor tweeaks will take this up a notch.

Thanks Roman. It was my day off but still at work...LOL I will cleanup the yellows a bit and see what happens. No clipping at all according to the histogram.

Jeff, I liked the image design, pose and subject placement. small-in-frame works well here. only issue for me is the noise in the bird.

Thanks Kaustubh, how can I remove the noise in the bird without loosing detail?

Thanks Kaustubh, how can I remove the noise in the bird without loosing detail?

Jeff, I am not the best person to answer that. I dont usually shoot in conditions that require high ISO...and am not really into trying out different softwares. I've heard good things about noise ninja, neat image. I have also heard that the newer versions of Lightroom do a good job.

Thanks Kaustubh
