Very hard getting these guys out in the open. Habitat is busy but not a deal breaker as the colors are pleasing. Pretty good pose but I wish the bird was facing us a bit more. The bird as presented lacks fine feather details. Perhaps from too aggressive noise reduction? I know the D500 handles high ISO much better than the Canon crop camera. Was the original tack sharp on this one?

I agree these are one of the most beautiful warblers, and you did well capturing him lower than usual. Excellent exposure under beautifully defused light. I don't mind the busy habitat, but I do see the absence of fine feather detail Isaac is referring to.

This is the how you usually see warblers. The pose is nice and i like all the green.

I am not sure what is happening Bill but as you mentioned the repost is not showing the same fine feather details that your shots usually show.

Nice image Bill. I don't mind the busy BG since he stands out so well against it and it's often how we see this species in the field. I agree the feathers lack detail.

Beautiful subject and I don't mind the natural environment too much but as mentioned the bird is not ultra sharp. Looks like a little too big of crop to me but not sure. I would jump at the chance to shoot one of these birds someday. Well done

This is a very nice frame of a difficult subject. Perhaps the density of the BLACKs and the intensity of the ORANGEs is hiding the FFD ... You might try reducing the Luminosity of the ORANGE channel during the RAW conversion ...
