    Default Another Black-throated Green Warbler

    I'm almost finished weeding through my 2017 images, deleting thousands of files and finding a few more keepers including several more warblers. This guy, from Mount Desert Island, Maine, needed some audio coaxing to get him down out of the high spruce trees.

    D500, 500f4 + 1.4 TC, ISO 2500, 1/500s @ f/6.3 manual.

    Very Nice Species. Good details on the bird. I would lift the mid tone up. I think this is a bit dull.

    You can use curves to lift the mid tones.

    Really like how this bird is perched on the fern like that. Nice framing. The pose as well. Solid background.

    Lovely bird in a sweet frame. Black-throated I can see but Green? Nice details.

    I really like this Bill.
    I think the leaves frame him well.
    I do wish that both feet could be seen but this is a minor observation.
    I wish for a slight head turn our way.

    Thank you all. Krishna, I tried lifting the mid-tones with curves but didn't like the result so I left it. Colin, I've always wondered why they call him Black-throated Green. It's true that in some light his yellow has a somewhat greenish tint, but still more yellow than green. I guess there are so many other warblers with bright yellow that "they" needed another color. Gail, can't do much about the head or foot.
