Yellow Warbler

[Sidharth Kodikal]

Canon 1D4, 600mm
1/1250, f7.1 ISO 800
hide, tripod
Setup perch (I had set up a few perches of different sizes, not knowing what to expect. Of course the tiny warbler chose the thickest perch :)

4+ hour drive for warblers, 4 hours in a blind and this is almost all I come back with :) But no complaints, I was a bit late for spring migration.
All input appreciated. Thanks.

Nice to get one in the open. Great shot, Sid.

Hi Sid, 4 hrs there, and a 4 hr shoot, thats dedication. I thought driving for 2 hrs for my kingfishers was dedication. Love the yellow against the darker BG, and good detail on the little guy. I like the curvature of your perch together with the visible lichen on top. I like that you left space below the perch, but on a personal thing, I would maybe take a bit off the top.

What a beautiful little bird and the Lichen covered perch has some super fine detail. Very smart image, Sid.

Very very nice.
Light has given this image a very dramatic feel.
I love the BG in this shot.
I might be tempted to take a sliver off the RHS but lovely as is,
Gail

love the nice yellow tones against the dark BG, the muss on the branch is the icing on the cake!
