    Default Yellow Warbler

    This is my first post on this website Hopefully I'm doing it correctly. I managed to get a number of Yellow Warbler images a couple weekends ago. I'm posting this one because I have a preference for "blackdrop" images. I did clone out a small section of a branch in the upper right hand corner. This was taken early morning with the bird in full sun and the backdrop a shaded part of a lake. I used Steve Perry's actions for web resizing. This image may be a little over sharpened as it was pretty sharp to begin with.

    Welcome to the forum Jack and a superb first post. Love the light, details and calling pose. Nicely exposed against the darker background. I'm a bit ambivalent about the small shoot from the branch being so close to the bird.

    Nice background and pose on the bird, like the colors.

    Lovely image, Jack. I think the little sprout of vegetation pulls my eyes away from the bird, I might remove it but no big thing. Thank you for sharing.

    Nice job separating the iris and pupil so well. Usually when I see the eye of a Yellow Warbler it's merely a black spot. He really pops against that dark background. Well done Jack!

    Welcome Jack and what a start! I really like the exposure and detail. I am not usually a fan of dark backgrounds but I think this works well.
    My first feeling was "is this a little over sharpened or is it just the light rendering amazing detail?" I suspect it is just the light, great shot I am looking forward to seeing more of your images.
