Warbler & Primrose

Gallery: AvianPosted July 29, 2012238 views11 comments

Yellow Warbler & wild Primrose @ 7:45am & overcast.
60% of FF so not as much left as I would've liked.
Thought it pleasing enough that it has overcome any lack of detail/data.
Any comments always welcome.
F/11, 1/160th, ISO 640, 1D M3, 300mm f/2.8 + 1/4x ext & natural light.
Shot in the early spring.

I agree with you Howard. It is such a beautiful image that the lack of detail doesn't matter. It's a beautiful setting for this pretty warbler amongst the pink flowers. Very nice!

It is pleasing and softness not a problem. The reflection is sweet.

Howard,
Detail still looks fine to me given the crop. Beautiful colors, nice reflection, great pose and a couple of flowers, What more could you ask for?

The bird is great but the flowers add a lot to this scene. Really nicely composed

The Warbler stands out so well in the habitat. Pink flowers are very complimentary and all is reflected beautifully, nice work Howard.

A really nice composition, Howard. The slight softness works in your favor, I think. Lovely.

I like the contrast between the yellow and the pink a lot, here. Nice pose, too!

I like this a lot. Great pose and story via the image. My only nit would be to tone down the brighter rocks in the background. Really pretty.
