    Default Golden-winged Warbler



    Kirkfield Ontario, Canada
    Nikon D300 ,Nikkor 200-400mm f/4G ED-IF AF-S VR ,1.7 TC
    1/500s f/7.1 at 650.0mm iso320

    Hand held resting on F150 window, natural light, almost full frame

    Too bad about the harsh light, but I was happy to find this little one with the help of my friend Vlad Morozov., were would we be without good friends!

    thanks for looking.

    I like the position and posture of the bird in the image. Head turn good. Dappled light is always difficult but some fill-flash can help in those instances. I might clone out or darken up the OOF bright spot in the upper left corner and perhaps lower left corner.

    A selection on the shadow portion of the bird and a curves adjustment might can bring up that area and a selection on the top of the head and a curves adjustment (reverse s-curve) could tame the high contrast there.

    Great points by Robert on a good photo Raymond. Like the eye contact and the sharpness. Might move the bird a little to the left in the frame. Thanks for posting!

    Great find, pose and eye contact! Adding to the other comments, I wish for a bit wider DOF to have the feet in focus, too. Thanks for sharing!

    I see you made it up to Carden! Glad you found one of these guys. The light is pretty darn harsh. But its still a nice image to have.

    Tough lighting conditions handled as well as could be done, Raymond.
