    Default Yellow-rumped Warbler

    The first Warbler of the season for me.
    Taken just outside of Guelph, On. in a small forested area.
    I removed a OOF branch, crossing the tail.

    Karl:

    Nicely exposed, nice angle.

    For me the perch is a bit big,partly because of the loose bark right under the bird.

    The eye is not quite sharp on my monitor.

    The color of the background is very nice, but there is some funny posterization effects going on, with lots of unusual looking outlines.

    I might crop up just a tiny bit from the bottom, perhaps to the bottom of your sig, but really that is a very minor point. The intention would be to slightly reduce the dominance of the perch in the frame.

    Its always great to see the birds coming back for the spring!

    Thanks for sharing.

    Very nice exposure on this bird! I see the background issues too, hate when that happens!! The branch, well, doesn't really bother me, that's where the bird was; but a thinner branch would have been ideal....

    Great light, breeding plumage and BG. There are some artifacts in the BG, maybe from resaving?

    Thanks for your comments.
    The problem is that my eyesight is not as good anymore as yours and I cannot see those lines mentioned.
    If I cannot see them, I cannot correct them.
    The perch is given and I was happy to see one in the open.
    When it comes to Warblers it is hard to get them in the open.
    Thanks for the comment again and I'll try my best.

    You could try to tilt your monitor up and down, maybe you can see it that way.

    Wonderful bird, sharp, good EXP, head square to the back of the camera, and aa loverly BKGR. Just wish for a bit thinner perch for this beauty.

    Pretty bird with a nicely colored BG. Having him down a bit on the thinner portion of the perch would've been nice but I hear you on getting one in the open.
