Oven Bird

Just back from 10 days at the family farm where I was able to call in this normally shy wood warbler,,, 20D w/ 200 F/2.8L , 1/320 sec @ F8.0 , ISO 800 , manual exposure

Great job with this reclusive bird Wayne! Nice singing pose with good sharpness. I might burn the RLC a little and I would consider eliminating or softening the intersecting lines formed by the OOF branches in front of the bird. I'd love to see one of these someday. Thanks for posting.

I can't believe you got this one singing! Great pose. I agree with Doug's suggestions about burning in the perch a bit.

Hay Wayne awesome singing pose, just wish it was doing so more towards you. He really is belting it out, eh - and I like the hint of tongue sticking out.! This Ovenbird (one word ;)) seems more greenish than what I'm used to.

Great to be able to catxh him singing! Doug gave you great advise and keep them coming!

Beautiful pose and excellent detail and composition. I agree with Doug's suggestion . Congratulations on a great image Wayne. I can imagine how thrilled you must have been to capture this one.

Congratulations Wayne. I love the head crest.

Beautiful bird, and nice for the head turned away. Looks great for ISO 800. Wide open beak is a big plus!

Awesome!! How did you get this with a 200mm lens?
