Common Yellowthroat

[Bruce Enns]

Hi all, THis is a Common Yellowthroat from BC...captured on a very rainy day using audio.

Canon IDIV, 500 + 1.4x, ISO 800, 1/2000 @ f/5.6
PP in Lightroom and CS5, clone / APTAT on a couple of small background distractions, cropped from landscape.

Comments and critiques welcome and appreciated!

Thanks for looking!

Nice one bruce.
Pose, details and exposure are very good and so is the comp.
I like how he appears to be framed by vegetation.

Thank-you to all for your kind and encouraging remarks! It was a challenge and lots of fun to try and get a 'clean' photograph of him.

Cheers!
