Palm Warbler

[Joseph Przybyla]

I captured this image in October of 2019 at Circle B Bar Reserve in Polk County, Florida. The Purple Gallinules are not the only ones that like the Fire Flag plant, many of the small bird such as this warbler and Blue-gray Gnatcatchers climb among the branches searching for insects. Comments and critique welcomed and appreciated. Thank you for viewing.

Lovely image Joe...Looking real good here. Everything just 'fits' perfectly. Pose, perch and BG. Lovely detail from tip of toe to head.

I like the perch and water droplets. Composition and colors look good (Although I have not see this bird in the field).

Very nice.
Not the flashiest of birds but the stem and BG add some nice color.
Good IQ and eye looks great.
Love the droplets of water on the stem,
Gail

I missed this one. You made that perch look very nice, and the water droplets add. The background is excellent as is the overall IQ.
