Sometimes warblers don’t care how close you are. This one was probably ten feet away. They are truly smol, and I like to crop my photos.

    I like to leave some habitat because I find it adds interest and complexity to a photo. Plus, sometimes the birb no longer appears smol if so focused in the photo! I’ve gotten more comfortable with even more distant shots of birbs, too–sometimes I can make raptors look illegally smol.

      Totally fair! I did a pretty extreme crop on a spider photo I took a few years back, and that started my “fill the frame with the subject” mentality. With respect to the rule of thirds of course. 😅

        I definitely have my fair share of close crops, especially herps! I also posted a close crop (because it was just that close) of a brown-capped rosy finch to the wildlife photography community today too.
