On The Alert

[Jim Fenton]

A rather soggy morning....just the way I like it when I'm creating yellow warbler images :)

This guy used this perch about every 20 minutes or so both the sing and feed on small flies.

A yellow winged warbler landed near by, and this yellow warbler had to stretch for a better look I guess.

Nikon D300, 500 VR, TC14EII, ISO 800, F7.1, UniWB preset, -.3 EV compensation. SB8-00 with BB at -2 2/3 EV

(For some rerason, things once posted look way more saturated in IE8 than they do on my computer?)

I like the inquisitive pose, soft light, details, perch and BG. As for the saturation issue, IE is not color-managed, have you tried to recalibrate your monitor?

[Tony Whitehead]

Lovely colours, sharpness and BG. I like your comp with the bird and rose shoots. Diffused light is perfect.

[Jim Fenton]

With color management enabled and it looks just fine now.

[Charles Wesley]

Jim,

You have loads of detail in the feathers. I like the separation between the BG and yellow warbler. Even the leaves are sharp.

Thanks for sharing....

I like this one a lot, as is. Nice composition, pose, colors and details.

Warbler next to the leaf helps to show the small size of this pretty little bird. I like the pose and colors

[Arthur Morris]

A sharp, wonderfully designed image. Love the soft light too. The astonished look on the Yellow Warbler was surely a result of his seeing a species new to science, the "yellow-winged warbler." Or perhaps it was a Golden-winged Warbler that startled him... :) :) :)

[Jim Fenton]

I would be astonished to see a yellow winged as well......however, in reality it was a blue winged.

Touché :)

[Arthur Morris]

Blue-winged, Golden-winged; both great birds....

[Bryan Erb]

Nice composition, killer pose, and nice bg.
