Yellow Warbler In The Pastel Flowers.

[Daniel Cadieux]

Flowering apple / crabapple season is now done. This lasts such a short time, maybe two weeks tops of prime flowers before they wilt. Always fun to get the birds in there. Here's a male Yellow Warbler that was checking out the colour palette for the lady's soon-to-be-built nest. Not sure if this particular image and colour scheme would look good printed big to hang in the garage or man cave, but I like it anyhow

Canon R6 + 500mm f/4 II + 1.4TC III, manual exposure, 1/640s., f/5.6, ISO 6400, natural overcast light, handheld, FF, some leaf imperfections removed via "removal tool", NR via Topaz.

Hi Dan ... very nice color palette and I do like the overall look and feel with the stark contrasting color and a lot of whites !!
Just wish for a cleaner look to the subject and a better HA .... well we cannot have it all at times .

Overall a sweet and delicate frame Dan, has almost one of those Japanese paintings as a feel to it, perhaps its the bloom. The Warbler really pings out in his bright yellow plumage. WB is bang on and without a grey card to Dan.

Dan if you are using the current APPs then 'Enhance' (DeNoise) is far better. than Topaz, it just creates a DNG files which you just work on, but obviously that is done first before anything else.
