I found this young male Common Yellowthroat in Dundas, Ontario a few days ago. He is getting close to getting his adult plumage.

Bill, welcome to NatureScapes! What a lovely first post. Sweet pose, great detail, and an ideal background for this species. Also, the soft lighting enhances the image. Look forward to seeing more of your photography. :)

BillyMacD, Like the perch running through the image. The bird has a nice stance and the detail and eye contact are excellent. A very nice image. Curious what your camera settings were?

Thanks.  If you look at how Canon handles noise reduction, you might find that ISO 400 is actually sharper than 250 (understanding that 400 might be slightly less dynamic range).  I don't remember Canon's noise reduction curve, but for Nikon it's definitely correct.  If you look through the photography discussion section you will find it.  Again, excellent photo.
