Also known as a Yellow-rumped Warbler. It dropped by my copse pond the other day for a bath but gave me a few nice poses before it went in.

7Dii, Sigma 150-600 C @ 600mm, tripod with ballhead and Sidekick, f/8, 1/250, iso 1600, aperture priority, pattern metering, -1/3 EV. Processed in LR & PS CC. Cropped to 14MP before resizing. A few extraneous pieces of lichen and twigs removed. Taken at 1:43 pm on September 24th.

Your comments and critiques are always appreciated.

Please do look at the larger image.

Thanks,

Such a beautiful bird, Dennis! Great exposure, nice perch and bg, and the head angle and catchlight are perfect!

Wow, this is crazy good Dennis. The colors in the BG, the warbler, the branch are all excellent. Simple, great comp. Doesn't get much better.
