Palm Warbler on Fire Flag

[Joseph Przybyla]

I captured this image a while back when the Fire Flag was in bloom.

Nikon D7000, Nikon 70-300mm 4.5-5.6 VRII AF shot at 300mm, 1/500, f/9, ISO 560

Hi Joseph, lovely sharp detail on the warbler, and posed against a super smooth BG. I like the inclusion of the spiders web too. I feel the plant is a touch overpowering, and thought an alternative crop would be better. I taken off the bottom, and a bit off the LHS.

Joe:

Very nice look back pose, colors, exposure, spider web. Before looking at Stuart's repost, I had come to the same conclusion as he about the crop, and feel that it really tightens up the image (more composed)

Always many options with comp, but I believe the repost is a very nice tweak!

Cheers

Randy

Killer pose and BG on this image. Love how the pose shows off the yellow rump.

Thank you all for viewing and commenting and offering suggestions for a better image. Stuart, your crop improves my image and will be used in the final for archiving. I appreciate another set of eyes seeing what I did not.
