Yellowthroatby =mydigitalmind

Photography / Animals, Plants & Nature / Birds

This male Yellowthroat allowed us to watch him feed around some berry bushes (not for the berries - he was catching insects!). The sky was overcast at the time so the woods were dark - unfortunately any of the shots I got with lunch in his mouth are not great. In this shot, you can see how he got him name.

Critique by =Kbulder Aug 2, 2011, 2:10:58 PM

This is a nice picture! What kind of bird is it exactly? Watch out though, when taking pictures that u try to keep white clouds/sky in the background away from the bokeh. It would have been a better picture if the bokeh was evenly green (the white spot near the head disturbs the image a bit).
Nice sharpness in the picture overall. F5.6 was a good choice for this shot. What changes did u make in CS4? Highlights and some sharpening I reckon? To end the critique, the vertical shot was a good choice for this picture since all the lines in the pictureare vertical.
Nice job overal
