This cape may warbler was photographed this previous spring migration. He and five of his mates were working the maple leaf buds in my small backyard. This was a lucky grab shot out of a second story bathroom window. The oof reddish areas in the background are maple leaf buds. Canon7d, Sigma50/500os, iso800, f9, 1/125, crop, selective NR to the bg, selective USM to the subject and perch. Comments and critiques welcome.
Regards,
Shawn Zierman.

Wonderful species, nicely photographed. I like how you handled the large perch. BG is beautiful. Wish my grab shots were half as good as this!

Amazing opportunity and amazing shot of this species, Shawn. I have been going to Point Peele for fifteen years give or take and
I have never seen one low. Always in the top of the trees.

Awesome colours and details. Neat perch too, and the bit of yellow-lime moss on it is a neat colour bonus. The comp is not centered at all (there much more room in front of the bill than behind the tail) but I could see a version more canvas left and top.

This is wonderful Shawn,
I really like the IQ and your DOF.
Nice clean BG ( which is so hard with these little guys).
The perch has been perfectly cropped for size and keeping the diagonal line,
Gail
PS I, too, shoot a lot from my upstairs bathroom window!

Stunning warbler shot, Shawn. I'm really jealous. This is a species I hardly ever see (despite their name they're not all that common in New Jersey); and never, never at eye level. Beautifully captured with great, clean bg. Given the size of the perch I might have been tempted to cut just a tad off the bottom and add to the top, but I'd take this in a heartbeat.
