Yellow Warbler

The Yellow Warbler, Dendroica petechia, is a New World warbler. It is the most widespread Dendroica warbler, breeding in almost the whole of North America and down to northern South America.

Reason: Beautiful shot of this lovely bird in great light, in front of a nice smooth background and on a natural perch. In short there aren't many better pictures of this species.

Support Too bad the background is a bit blurry. Still, the bird is very clear and that's primary. Matt Deres 20:19, 8 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Support: blurry background is not an issue as it allows focus on subject. --Kalyan 09:26, 9 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Support overall a very encyclopedic shot --Hadseys 11:46, 9 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Support Excellent work.--MONGO 14:41, 9 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Support Beautiful shot--color, sharpness, composition, DOF (blur is spot-on, eliminating far background, deemphasizing the closer tree, and keeping the whole bird in sharp focus). I'm happy to make this my first FPC vote. :) Peter 16:31, 9 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Support. Obviously will succeed, but I wanted to add that it is one of the best composed single animal photographs I've seen in a while, for many reasons said by Peter. Zakolantern 17:13, 9 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
