Head angle be darned, this is my first image ever of a Cerulean Warbler, and I am sooooooo glad to open up a folder of this species in my files! I briefly tried audio, expecting it to stay way up in the canopy anyhow (as per usual), but this time it came right down to eye level! The leaves have grown too much at this point, so almost every image has it half concealed behind foliage. Except this one. And of course it is looking away a bit. It's OK, it encourages me to try for this species again next spring.
Canon 7DII + 500mm f/4 II + 1.4TC III, manual exposure, evaluative metering, 1/1250s., f/5.6, ISO 400, natural light, handheld, cropped for composition, some highlights on the leaves tamed. Shadowing on the throat, chest, and belly lifted (boy was I hoping for clouds at this point, but not to be).
