Prothonotary Warbler

[Geoffrey Montagu]

Captured this image of a Prothonotary Warbler-Breeding male, a few days ago in the morning at Magee Marsh, Ohio. A lifer for me. C&C welcome.

D500, Nikon 500mm f4/G + 1.4 TC, 1/500s, f 6.3, ISO 640, Gitzo, Wimberley Gimbal head.

Removed some distracting branches in CS6.

Nice bird with a good EXP. The sharpest focus seems to be on the wing rather than on the bird's face. And the light from the hard right bugs me ...

with love, artie

Hi Geoff, lovely pose and I like the yellows on this fellow. Comp wise, if this were mine, I would take a bit off the bottom.

[William Dickson]

Very nice Geoffrey. I really love the colours and the pose on the bird. The BG shows the bird well. Agree with Stu about some from the bottom. Beautiful looking bird.

Thanks, Artie, Stu, and William.
