Interesting setting. Was this taken in a garden, or backyard pond? I do think the warbler needs a bit of lightening up. Good sharpness and perspective.

It was taken at Corkscrew Swamp in one of the ponds. Here is the re-post with a little different crop and lightened up a bit:

Nice sharp image, good perspective, and cool habitat. I like the first crop better, and it looks like you lightened the entire image on the second post. I wasn't able to retrieve the initial post, so I worked off your repost. I quick selected the bird, brightened it a little, and sharpened a little more (too much I think!). First time I've worked on someone elses image(I'm new @ this too), hope you don't mind:)

Thanks. Looks better then my re-post. I reposted the photo you edited with a different crop.

Hi Joshua
I like your second post better. You could have selected the bird and just lightened him leaving the habitat more subdued it might look better that way?
