I photographed this Pine Warbler last weekend at Greenwood Cemetary, NY. One of the brightest Pine Warblers I've ever seen. Comments and crits welcome

10d, 400mm f5.6, 1.4x

Nice work. Especially focusing accurately with the 1.4x.

Very nice image Abie. I just recently acquired that same lens and have been trying to get shots like this in my backyard with the exact same setup. Unfortunately, I'm still trying. Good job.

Taping the pins works wonders as long as there is good strong light and the scene has alot of contrast. I usually prefocus on a particular branch, it speeds up focusing alot.

Abie, Not an easy bird to get in front of a lens. He's in great plumage. Very nice photo.
