    Default Golden-Browed Warbler

    Cloudy Forest, Tenango de Doria, Mexico. It is a classic bird of this type of forest.

    Canon 50D
    500 mm
    iso 800
    6.3
    1/125
    Handhold

    This bird is very dinamic, i need more time for change the aperture for more DOF.

    Raul,

    Good self-critique on needing more DOF, I agree. I certainly understand that the bird is dynamic making it hard to frame it. Work looser in framing so you do not clip off parts of the bird, like the toes in this case.

    The 50D at ISO 800 will have luminance noise in the BG so I recommend noise reduction there.

    Sharp on the eye where it counts and the diagonal perch adds a strong compositional element to the image,

    Head looks very sharp with nice detail - pretty impressive for HH in such low SS. Shame about the clipped toes.

    Beautiful bird that I've never seen before. Agree with comments above.
    Given what looks like a quite angled tail position, don't know if you could have shut down enough to get it sharp.

    What a beautiful little warbler! The eye is nice and sharp, which is at least the most important.

    Warblers are tough! I like all the little details and whiskers you captured here but really wish for all the toes! :)

    Bienvenido Raul!

    Muy buena toma aunque el corte de los dedos me haga sufrir un poco!

    I agree about this birds being very active, you don't include information about if flash use used, I will assumed it was not. Flash as you know could provide you with faster shutter speeds.

    This species looks a lot like our Rufous-capped Warbler,Basileuterus rufifrons, which can be found at middle elevations.

    Hola Raul,

    Nice to see you posting here. Good place to learn a lot.
    Agree with the critics above. Nice to see a nice Mexican bird and hope you can get it again with better light conditions.
