Prairie Warbler

[Lana Hays]

After the deep funk that I've been in all winter, I finally got a little time to go out and look for warblers. I only had time for one place and was thrilled to see that the Prairie Warblers had returned for a third straight year.

Sof muted light makes a good setup or this beauty. Sharp where it needs to be and superb compo. The upper branch serves as framing.

Hi Lana!

Sharp, detailed, and a beautiful bird. I like the soft light, and the background gradient is beautiful!

So pretty, perched in the new growth. Love the smooth background and the diagonal lines in this image.

It is a beautiful image Lana. At first the little encroaching branch in the top left corner wasn't appealing, but I quickly changed my mind. As Fabs said, it's like a little fram to top it off. I love it!

[Simon Bennett]

Beautiful!!

[Andreas Kanon]

Very nice composition. The light conditions were very nice to allow good exposure of the yellows.
