    Hi Everyone,
    I haven't posted for a while so I thought that I would put this shot of a Wilson's Warbler up. Hard to get these guys cause they always seem to be on the move.

    Stats: Canon 50D, 500mm with 1.4X, ISO 800, 1/320sec at F/6.3

    Thanks for looking,

    Steve

    Not only do they seem to always be on the move, but they also love to stay within the thick stuff...good job getting one out in the open! The yellows look good, and your "higher than the bird" perspective gives us a nice glance at the black hood field mark. I still would ahve preferred a bit better HA, and I find the setting a bit busy (what else to expect from this species!!), especially the clump of leaves directly behind the head. You may also opt to run some NR (to the BG only).

    Steve, exposure looks very good and I like the shooting angle. Good job in getting parallel to the bird. I also like the leaves near the bottom and the DOF in this image. I like your comp but will prefer a little more in the front...if there aren't any distractions there.
