Palm Warbler

[Bob Blanchard]

I managed a few really nice images of the Palm Warblers this past weekend. Even though I managed to capture several with a relatively clean BG, I kept gravitating back to this one and one other where the environment was a significant part of the image. I imagine this one will be a love/hate kind of thing, but for some reason I kinda like it. I'm sure I'll get busted by the busy BG police here, but fire away! ;)

The BG is a bit bussy, but I love the light, pose and colours! Congratulations!

I like it Bob. The BG is busy as mentioned but it is also pleasing to me and natural looking.

Image is nice and sharp and I really like the head turn.
