Reed Warbler

[Gerhard Weldhagen]

It`s been a while but I finally got a few shots of Australian Reed Warblers out in the open. The little rascals are usually hiding in the reeds with rich liquid song the only sign of their presence.

Canon 7D2, EF 600 USM II + 1.4TC III, 1/1250, f5.6, ISO 400, manual exposure, prone position with modified Atlas bipod, post production PS CC/ NIK Dfine.

Comments and critique welcome.

Like our Marsh Wrens, they're probably tough to get a clear shot of. Good exuberant singing pose, and I like the way he is perched on the two curved reeds. Did you consider toning down the whitish one on the right?

Thanks for noticing the whitish reed Bill,it definitely needs some attention.

love the calling pose and the interesting perch bit the harsh light and the busy BG worked against you here
