    Default Palm warbler on felled birch tree

    Attached Images Attached Images
     
    I finally captured an image that I like of these sweet little warblers.
    I noticed 4 males flitting about some felled trees (due to big windstorm) on our cottage property. I hopped in the car and positioned myself beside the trees. I was able to capture several good images with my 100-400 II shooting through the window.
    Just wish I had been in my little Toyota IM and not the SUV so that I would have been shooting about 8 inches lower and would have reduced some of the white FG.
    Canon 1 DX 100-400mm II with 1.4 X III
    ISO 1600 SS 1/1600 F8
    PP: Crop to 70% FF
    Nothing added or cloned. Luminosity mask to white FG and birch tree. Usual LR sliders and NR with Neat Image. I did not sharpen the JPEG because it made the bird too crunchy to my eye.
    Comments and critiques always appreciated and learned from with thanks,
    Gail

    Great Image Gail . Bird is lovely and nice details on the feathers.The whites are distracting on the tree.Seems like it is always something hard for me to get perfection. The background colors are very pleasing. TFS

    Nice view of this warbler. Like the pose and the perch. I don't mind the background.

    Gail, sweet shot of this colorful little bird, nice details HA and BG, maybe tone down the whites on the log a bit but still very nice.

    Lovely shot, great light and detail. I don't mind the white on the log because it is matched by the background.

    The bird and BG look real good. Yes to toning down the perch a little. Fab detail on the bird, I like the pose with lovely HA.

    Will
