    Default Chestnut-sided Warbler

    Taken yesterday morning. Warblers are starting to migrate through my area. I was pretty close and the rest of the image was pretty
    tight and busy so I went ahead with a portrait. An out of focus leaf was removed from in front of the bird. Straight size reduction with
    no sharpening.

    Hi Jack,
    For no sharpening the details are quite fine on the head. I'm liking the look facing into the light. Nice background too.

    You did well with the off-angled light. But the lower right corner is a mess. I cleaned that up with a crop. Again I'd love to see a JPEG that shows the full frame image.

    with love, artie

    ps: whenever possible, try to point your shadow at the bird ...

    Nice portrait of this warbler. Great background. Details look very good here.

    The colors, light, and details here are wonderful, and I agree with the crop improvement offered by Artie. It's really nice to see such a close-up shot
    of this usually arboreal little bird!

    Jpeg of out of camera raw file. I don't get much opportunity to pursue these birds as they don't breed in this area.
    I'm more tolerant of less than ideal images since I don't have many images of them. I normally wouldn't have bothered
    with removing the leaf.

    Thanks. I like the full frame image much better than the tight awkward crop in Pane 1.

    with love, arite

    I'm liking the image in pane #6 best. Had you pointed your lens an inch or two more to the left (and 1/2 inch lower) you'd have something nice to work with as I am OK with the leaves, light angle notwithstanding.
