I haven't chased around warblers much in the 4 years I have been photographing birds. So, this year I have taken on the challenge. That's what it is and it's pretty addictive really. They truly symbolize spring to me. I know this one is a little busy, but I thought I would float it out there to get some feedback. I did make a mistake with the ISO. It had been cloudy a few minutes before and I had it at 800, but then the sun poked out and this guy suddenly flew so close he made me forget to lower it again. :) Thanks.
Cute pose with the inquisitive head angle, Bryan. I like the colour of the flowers surrounding the bird. They yellows look a little hot - dialing back the yellow saturation brings a little more detail into those areas. Some of the tips on yellows in Educational resources may be worth a try to see if they look any better to you.
Re-post with yellows desaturated. It looks completely different in Adobe RGB on my monitor (not natural) and when I convert to sRGB, sRBG seems much brighter and I still don't see as big of a difference even after the adjustment. Perhaps I am just limited by my software (LR2 and PSE7) or I am just clueless on how to do it. It's appears from reading the tips that it's easier to adjust with CS3/4.
