    This is a portrait of one of our North American warblers (family Parulidae). The Common Yellowthroat skulks around in wet wooded areas but is very vocal and is heard more often than seen. I was lucky to have this guy come out right in front of me. I would like to have been closer. This was about a 50% crop but the lens and teleconverter seemed to hold up.

    I removed a thin branch from the left hand side of the image and a small leaf from the right. I'd like help with the crop because right now the axis of the bird runs along the centre line of the image.

    40D, 70-200mm f4 IS, 1.4 tcII giving 280mm

    Hi John,
    Nice sharpness, color, and BG. I like the angle of the perch and subject.

    John, I shaved a bit off the bottom and a smidge off the left. I also thought it looked a bit overexposed so I toned it down a bit. See what you think.

    I like it Julie. Thanks much. Amazing how you can't see these things yourself. Like you are too close to it!
