    Default Wet Prairie(?) on Pond Apple

    This beauty had just taken a dip in the water below and flew up to continue hunting in this pond apple. I believe it is a prairie warbler but am not at all sure. When imaging warblers I just look for decent light angle (don't have a flash), bird in the relative clear and head angle. Otherwise, I keep that focus sensor (AI focus of course) on the neck or head and fire away. Composition and BG are matters of luck and discoverd when processing. Created at Wakodahatchee in early morning direct sunlight. This is about a 60% crop.

    I like the head angle, eye contact and details and only wish for a lower angle. I'm not sure about the ID, maybe someone else can pitch in. I might crop a bit off the top.

    Yep looks like a wet Prairie Warbler. My only quibbles are angle of shot and the brown leaf in lower right corner(my eye keeps looking at the brown leaf) but may not bother others.

    Sharp, good EXP, probably a young bird. The steep angle is the biggest problem. A big crop from the bottom (to just above the vein of the biggest leaf below it) might help.
