    Default Prairie Warbler.

    It was one of my nemesis birds up until a few years back.
    I got an ID shot back then.
    This time I got close to one at Magee Marsh, Ohio.
    It was a one day wonder there.
    I met and had a nice coversation with Kenn Kaufman,
    one of my birding heroes, (author of many books) which was the highlight of my trip.
    Thanks for looking.

    Excellent portrait of a beautiful Warbler. Excellent details with lovely perch & BG. IMO it would have been perfect if the bird placed a little more to the right of the frame. TFS

    Nice perch, nice clean BG and the yellows are handled just right. If this is not full frame I would loosen the crop just a bit.

    Beautiful subject here the yellow are spot on and he is on a nice perchwith a cleran BG. I agree with Jack on going with a looser crop and I wish you had just a touch more HA towards the viewer

    This is one sweet shot Karl, can relate to having a nemisis bird, I have one called an Orange Chat that live on low bushes out in the open and impossible to get near to.

    I can understand the thoughts behind having a looser crop, and compositionally it may look better proportioned, but as I've often mentioned....if an image is this good you have to flaunt it so I personally like " big in frame " lol
    Yellows look nicely exposed, the light looks pretty well handled and lovely eye, simple small perch and smooth backdrop.....congrats on capturing the sneaky little " Cardassians { I watch too much Star Trek }

    Karl,

    Stunner! Lovely detail in the feathers and it looks like you nailed a photo of your nemesis!

    Very neat that you got to meet Kenn Kaufman - and I bet that made the day even sweeter.

    Ditto Jack and Don. Excellent yellows and I love the budding leaves.

    I also agree on a looser crop if you have it, but that is one beautiful Warbler!
