A delightfully adorned male for this species, photographed recently in the last warm light of the day on some historic hill near the shores of Lake Superior........
Canon7d, Sigma50/500os, iso800, f8, 1/1000, small crop, NR to the bg, USM to the subject and some of the perch using layers.

Hi Shawn,
I am always happy to see you post. You are so generous with all your ( thoughtful) critiques you give others that it is a pleasure to return the favor.
Lovely species to get an image of. I have yet to see a Canada Warbler in real life!
Wonderful light and BG color. Love the whiskers!
I would take a bit off the RHS as I feel there is a bit too much negative space.
If you are not anti-cloning I could see a version with the little branch between the legs cloned out and the lowest branch on left cloned out. It would tidy up the image nicely but this is not a real issue for me.
The IQ on the bird is lovely- this would have been "killer" if he had posed a bit more parallel to the sensor to get the tail to fall within the DOF.
I do not know what type of tree this is but I wonder if there is a slight magenta cast to it? Easy fix if this is the case.
Lovely shot overall of a "not often seen" warbler on BPN,
Gail
Nice pose, well exposed. You can still lighten up the overall image in PS as I find it being a little bit on the dark side. (Matter of taste)
The darker areas, (belly, undertail covert, tail) look a little bit noisy.
Thanks folks. The perch has some issues...but it was not set up. I can see the value of trimming it up a bit. The warbler is pretty large in the frame already for such a small bird...not sure about cropping anymore....What the **** is a "canada wau"? :) Would a moderator please change my drunk title? :)
Canada Wau
