C. Yellowthroat Warbler

Gallery: AvianPosted October 6, 2011118 views5 comments

I think this is a young male...his black mask is just coming in. This is another image from my
"yellow bird day" in early Sept. at EB Forsythe...the Brig. Hoping the nice detail in face makes up for the the lack of dof (again). Some may not like the busy bg, but I really like the color in this image. Cropped from horizontal to vertical.

50D, 500mm, ISO 200, 1/400, F4 Please look at the LARGER version, and thanks for your comments!

Since I like to see natural habitat in photos I like this very much, and think the color of what I think is pokeweed adds to the appeal of the image.

Great habitat and color Sharon. Just enough light on the bird's face for this to work for me.

A sweet shot - I like everything about this. A very interesting combination of colors.

Lovely, Sharon. Great color in the bird, perch and background. I like the head position and detail in the face. The DOF works for me in this one.
