I have been photographing an invasion of yellow rumped warblers the last week or so and this guy conveniently landed in front of me the other morning.

Great shot in great light.

I agree on the face. To bad the spotlight missed it.

Cheers

Very nice Art. Some shadow / highlight tool should even out the light a bit!

Gorgeous shot. The yellow orange really goes well with the complementary blue.

I like the dappled light personally. It set the mood of the image.

Great job.

Lovely mottled lighting indeed. I too wish the spotlight had made it to the face. This can be one difficult bird to photo in my area!
