Backlighted Carolina Wren - fall foliage

I like the idea but the bright leaves overpower the bird. Stronger flash might have helped.

I agree with Axel........like the idea but he's right in that the bright leaves do over power the bird. I like the composition and it was good exposure for the backlit effect.
