D30, Sigma 400 f/5.6 APO Macro HSM, 1/100 @ f5.6, ISO 100 , - 1/3, cropped ~25% from the edges.

Another personal favorite that I have posted in the past. As some of you may remember there was one big branch running directly behind the bird which I cloned out- quite a bit more cloning that I would normally like. My personal goal for this Spring is to make decent images of warblers that don't require some cloning! All comments are welcome. Thanks for looking! :)

Laura, this is a very nice clean shot of a Warbler. The only thing I might add is a cleaner catchlight. Great work.

Fantastic Laura. Anytime you can freeze a Warbler it's very gratifying and this Chesnut-sided looks great!

Sweet shot, Laura. The eye has an odd appearance.

The eye has been mentioned. I'll just say I wish I had this shot in my files.
