Unique Warbler photo, Jim.
I like the ground perspective, Fg is nice, a could of white spots on the bird I would get rid of,
but a nice low angle photo of this songbird.

I cannot recall seeing a photograph of this species that pleased me more than this! I love the angle, the road blur, the marvelous colors and texture in the vegetation, and of course the bird himself...lovely!

Wonderful shot.
I don't think I have ever seen a shot of a warbler on the ground.
Terrific low angle, excellent details, and great comp.
Very well done.

Sweet shot. Plants in the foreground rock. I'm not a fan of the OOf strip at the bottom though.

Correctly exposed for the yellows, I like the little plants and flowers, nice bg.

Wow Jim, this is fantastic! I love those flowers, the low angle (!), and BG. I'd consider darkening a bit the FG strip...but I like the amount of it included.

I find this warbler more challenging to shoot than the rest. You did a great job by going down and catching hin a\mong little wild flowers. Exposure is perfect and the details/sharpness are great, Jim.

Hi Jim, striking yellows on this fellow, and I commend your effort for getting down so low to achieve this angle.

Hi Jim,
This is a really different perspective on a warbler. I am not usually fond of grass shots but the little flowers are so pretty I can't help but like the setting.
Good IQ and perky pose. I like the stray little feather coming out of the neck as well,
Gail

I find myself in TOTAL agreement with Jack Breakfast. Easily one of the coolest images of this
species I've ever had the pleasure to view....awesome!

Great photo! I love the surroundings. I find these guys hard to get out in the open.
