Male Chestnut Sided Warbler

[Michael Thompson]

This Bird was singing away and pursuing its mate through the bushes along a parking lot. It was in the middle of the day, but fortunately, partly cloudy. I was shooting from my vehicle, handheld. Canon 7Dll, 100-400ll at 400mm f/9, 1/800 ss, 800 iso

This is very nice. Love the way you caught the singing pose and the bird being placed almost perfectly between those leaves. And it is offset very nicely by that background. I would run a little more NR on background and maybe bring out just a little more colors on the bird but it is very nice as presented.

This is excellent Michael. You are really improving!!
Great BG and lovely singing pose. How perfect that he perched between the two leaves. My only suggestion would be to include the entire lower leaf if you can.
Whites look good.
A terrific warbler image,

Splendid warbler shot, Michael. Great singing pose, good bg, and I love the leaves.

He's a beauty, and those fresh spring leaves are really attractive. I agree with Gail - a second option would be to use the clone stamp to recede that leaf up to the second "ridge" or so. Nicely done!
