Prairie Warbler

Another locally breeding warbler species, captured at a local preserve a few weeks ago.

D7200, 500f4 + 1.4 TC, ISO 800, 1/1250s @ f/7.1 manual, fill @ -2.7.

Lucky you to have so many species of Warbler's available to you. This looks great and I like the calling pose and the unique perch and he stands out well against the blue BG. Well done Bill

Bill, these guys are so tiny and fast. I have yet to photgrpah one. Calling pose looks great ans I like the colors and sharpness of the bird. Loi

Bill:

Handsome fellow, calling pose a plus.

There is a subtle green cast to the abdomen and lower breast, probably reflection off the leaves.

Just for personal taste, the comp. looks a bit unbalanced, with too much neg space above and to right. Might try a modest crop in both of those areas to see what you think.

Cheers

Thank you all.

David, most of the warbler species I've shown in this series (12 to date) were from Ohio, a 10-hour drive from my house. But we do have a few locally breeding species, some of which continue to elude me even though they're local.

Randy, there is a lot of blue. I'll look at a tighter crop.
