Chestnut-sided warbler

Lovely, David, quality- and subject-wise. Was it a local bird?

Thanks !
Yes, quite a few of these migrate through in the spring. I’m lucky enough to live on a major migration route (shore of Lake Erie).

I can see why it is your favourite. Beautiful little thing and a superb shot of it, too.

That's a bird that's on my shoot list. You really did a great job with this hoodie. Very nice image, Shalu. I actually like both backgrounds, but I prefer the red a little bit more than the green.

Thank you very much for your thoughtful comments, Mike!

These are both beautiful IMO.
Overall, the water has most appeal in top one.
Bird stands out better in lower.

I'm not really going to say I have a preference.
Both are uniquely beautiful in their respective ways.
Not much help!

Thank you very much for your nice commentary, Richard.

Lovely shots, love the reflective colours on the water.

Thank you very much, llamedos.

I prefer the 2nd shot, very nice

Thank you very much, Rob.

Wow hard to say; normally like warm reflected tones like #2 but the green in #1 gives better colour contrast with the birds wing feathers.

Thank you very much, Lester.

They are both very nice shots. I prefer the green water, because it isolates the bird slightly better, but the front of the bird does look slightly under-exposed. Maybe lifting the shadows might help? There is more detail of the bird in the second pic, but the bird stands out less because the browny-orange water is similar to the bird's chestnut flanks. Just a personal take from an amateur snapper!

Thank you very much for sharing your thoughts, Jack.

Proof that a big white isn't necessary when you know what you are doing. Not that there is anything wrong with the big white. Fantastic shot.

Gorgeous Rob. The pine needles form a natural frame that enhances the shot.
