Hi folks , today's upload is another small warbler , this one I think is called a yellow-rumped warbler , and that it is in it's breeding plumage. I found this little guy at the same place I found my last upload , a little thicket by the slew that is in the park out front my house.

this day the lighting was kind of low and I took this shot with a 500 ISO , I aimed for slightly high exposure knowing the the faster shutter , and lighter image would yield less grain , the result was a few shots that where good , and some that where not due to over exposure , the over exposure was caused by sunlight spots as the sun was coming through the bushes behind me in small patches.

I am hopeful to get an in-flight of one of these warblers this year , but the last couple of times I checked they where not at the thicket , I think they live in near by conifer trees.

for a change I also did my own workshop on this one , a little bit of play just for some effect , hope you will stop over and have a quick look at that one too.

thanks for stopping in

regards

Stunning image Art, clarity and definition of colour is excellent. Very good POV and an excellent composition. regards h

Hi Art,
interesting, your effort to catch the small bird... You fought the grain well, I think you must have removed the color from the branches to make it less conspicuous, the esult is convincing. A beautiful bird it is close-up, otherwise you hardly notice it.
My best regards

Hi Art,

Superb shot of the Warbler.
Very nicely composed with a great pose and a lovely pose.
Nice sharp details.
I really like the colours with the Bg blending with the greys on the bird then the splash of yellow contrasting nicely.

Great Photo- I love how the yellow spots on his head and below his wing jump out at me in the picture-wonderful job.
