    Default One Last Warbler (at least for now)

    I promise this will be my last posting of this year's spring warblers, for awhile. Even though this is a rather large crop, I couldn't resist posting it because I liked the way this Prairie Warbler composed himself in the juniper. C&C appreciated.

    D7000, 700mm, ISO 1250, 1/640s @ f/7.1 manual, fill @ -1.7, tripod.

    Hi Bill, What a beautiful capture. Juniper adds a nice quality. Great BG. Glad you posted this.

    Beautiful shot. The perch is great. Also like the head turn and the yellow of the bird.

    I am not tired of your warblers Bill. This one has a great pose. If your iso was really 1250 I think that 800 would have worked better here, the whole image is a little bright to me, still I would love to have it.

    Bill,

    I think I like this one more than the last! The semi-circle shaped foliage is a great addition. Great head angle and very nice stare to the open side of the frame.

    Nice job with the fill too.

    Excellent setting to capture this handsome bird in. The head turn body angle fits the negative space of the bg brilliantly. I'm glad that you were able to achieve some mottled greenery in the background versus just a sky background. Not sure what a large crop means in this case, but the details have held up well regardless imo.

    Terrific perch and pose.
    I guess it's just me, but the neck seems a tad bright.
