Yellow-rumped Warbler

[James Salywoda]

Yellow-rumped Warbler
Southern,California

Although I don't find the perch to be anything special I do find this species of Warbler to be a very pretty
subject. It was fun watching them pluck bugs out of the air and then they would land on this dead tree to
finish off their meal or rest for a 1/2 sec. then fly off. I only was able to get this pose and shot from it until they left the area.
I did clone out a couple of distracting branches in order to save the shot. At least until I can get something better.:)

Background is dead trees and water.;)

Light, BG and pose as eye contact and detail are superb, the perch as you said is nothing special but it doesn't take any good away of this wonderfull shot! Congratulaitons!

Beautiful image and very striking with the colors of the warbler against the grey BG . Superb pose, detail and eye contact. Just love this one James.

I agree with all the above and then some, photographing these Warblers are a feat in themselves and this one is superb to say the least, perfect everything.

Really nice pose James and I like the perch. The BG really makes this shot. Nice detail and sharpness.
