Tennessee Warbler

[Alan Murphy]

Tennessee Warbler

Upper Texas Coast

D3, 600, 1.4TC, ISO 800, f11, 1/800.

One from last week.

Not the most flamboyant warbler, but beautiful in his own subtle way.

Alan, love how clean and simplistic of your image.
A big fan here.

[Jory Griesman]

Beautiful image. Sharp, good exposure and perch. Is the background natural? Subjective call, but I'd like to see a bit more room at the top.

[Harshad Barve]

Lovely image but it looks a little green to me - I have taken the liberty of modifying the colours very slightly - do you like this version?

Excellent shot Alan, love the details and perfect perch!

Hey Jory, yes, the BG is totally natural. Thanks.

Hey Jonathan, your repost looks the same to me, but if there is a subtle difference, it's hard to see without them side by side. Thanks for the repost.

I agree the difference is minimal I duplicated the image then Average Blurr followed by midpoint curve - it took just a tiny bit of green out.

Alan-
Another winner - very nice composition, colors, bgkd. Nice details and HA. Exposure looks perfect

Presume this was at a setup - - was it at a water drip or did you use sound recordings?

Hey Peter, this bird was approaching my water drip.

Alan,

This is a wonderful shot. I'm currious though, why f11 and not f8? Where you already at f8 and then stopped down one? I've just never stopped to f11 on a bird.

Hey Bruce, with the D3's clean noise at ISO 800 I have plenty of shutter speed to stop down. F11 gets everything in focus, especially when the bird faces you. F 8 can leave the tail OOF. Remember, this is a set-up so I am near minimum focus distance, so f8 does not have that much D-O-F.

Thanks, Alan

Love it! The sharpness is always stunning and I am glad you mentioned the f/11 setting. I am going to start moving my 600 up from f/8.

Beautiful, nice pose, light, details and HA...
