    Default Blackpoll Warbler

    This fall-plumage Blackpoll paid a visit to our local lake several years ago, and stuck around in the same spot for a few days. Low light conditions probably robbed me of some IQ.

    D7200, 500f4 + 1.4 TC, ISO 3200, 1/640s @ f/5.6 manual.

    Not a warbler seen very often and you have captured it well! I like the pose and the bit of leaf on top. I would wish for a slight head turn. Despite 3200 ISO, this is a nice show of the blackpoll.

    Love the pose on this one. I agree about the low light conditions, but very nice at that ISO.

    Solid frame of this warbler. Nice pose and a great background. Image quality looks very good for the low light and high ISO.

    Sharp with a nice look-back head turn. The bird looks a bit crunchy/over-sharpened to me. I think that a pano crop of half the open space on the bottom would tighten this up nicely.

    Nice subject and a cool looking pose Bill. I agree though that it looks crunchy on my monitor. Maybe back off a bit on the sharpening. Well done

    Hi Bill, beautiful little bird. Nice colors, feather detail and background. I also think it appears a tad crunchy on my display. Thank you for sharing.
