I'm guessing this is a first year female N. Parula warbler which wouldn't be particularly rare in Arkansas. It is a beautiful bird, however, rare or not. You got a good shot of it. I would have taken about an inch off the right side, but that is solely personal preference. Posted: 11/09/2023 22:03:19
Beautiful colors here. I don't know birds so I guessed some kind of warbler. Nice focus on the eye, and beautiful texture on the feathers. Posted: 11/15/2023 16:15:57
Beautiful catch and the bird is spectacular. The image of the bird is spot on for crisp and clear even at that ISO. I know the Denoise in LR has made quite a difference in my willingness to shoot at higher ISO's. and it did a great job on this one (you lost no detail in the feathers) ! Warblers can be tricky, they don't like to sit still. Very nice image!! Posted: 11/22/2023 21:34:23
