June seems to have hit with a larger than usual number of Yellow-Warblers in the area. This shot is about 20 minutes after sunrise, responding to audio of a Cedar Waxwing. comments welcome.

ACR for white balance, PS to bring down level on the perch, DN on background.
stands out nicely against the dark BG. it can go a bit brighter and you can post a bit larger too.

Vaughn:
I like the colors, well scaled, angled perch, softly varied background, nice head angle.
I find 1200 is a nice size for vertical images.
I agree with Arash, perhaps just a few points brighter, but it does feel like early light as posted.
Cheers
Randy
Nice frame Vaughn! I like the perch, the HA, the BG and the details in the bird. I like as posted, but wouldn't mind seeing one with the suggestions to compare.
Sharp and technically perfect, and yes, I know how tough warblers are. I am not a fan of the boxy crop here or of the hunched over posture. I'd love to see a tail up pose.
with love, artie
Great subject and very well done I think. Yes to posting larger next time...
Lovely lighting and look-back pose. Details are nice and sharp across the subject - even if he is hunched a bit!
I personally like the box crop but feel you need to loosed it a bit. Not sure if the surrounding foliage will allow that without massive distraction/cloning.
Thanks for the suggestions Arash.Quote:

I love that the perch is in focus and the touch of foliage at top really adds.
You could possibly try a slightly narrower crop, coming in from right to see but I'd take this one as-is my friend.
TFS!
I would like the bird to be more on the right side. I for one like warblers to be smaller in the frame.
But I would take this any day...
Well done.

I'd take this anyday. I like the framing. Perch is nice.
