Palm warbler singing his heart out

[Ron Conlon]

This Palm Warbler launched into a series of calls, on a reasonably clean perch. Magee Marsh Boardwalk in the Ottawa NWR in Ohio.

Wonderful pose Ron and although I like the surrounding greenery I think a slightly tighter crop would improve it a bit. Because the bird is softly lit and against a relatively bright background I'd be tempted to brighten the bird slightly to add a bit more pop. Very nice shot with good color, and oh, what a great pose!

Excellent pose and very appealing fresh foliage. I could go for more brightness on the warbler. I like the comp as is because the leaves at left fill out that area nicely, but I could also see aversion with less there too.
