[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Another image from the Galapagos. This guy is a Warbler, and like many of the animals on the islands, had no fear of humans. The lava provided an excellent backdrop to show the brilliant oranges and yellows of his feathers. These little birds would sit next to sea lions and chase the flys that accompanied them.

If given the opportunity to reshoot this image I would have used a higher ISO and a smaller aperture so that the tip of the beak and the feet would have been in focus.

Cheers.

Hello Wes,
Incredible contrast with yellow against black lava... Great sharpness, detail and color... It's almost too sharp! Don't worry about the beak and the feet. It's well done.
Best wishes,
Hakan
