Yellow-rumped Warbler

[Jim Crosswell]

This was taken yesterday in a local field. There have been many birds eating these white berries from some kind of shrub. The perch is big but this is where the Warbler decided to have lunch. All C&Cs are welcome and appreciated.

Cool shot Jim, i might be tempted to just erase the foliage at the top.

Great capture of a fine ,fast moving little bird, Jim. I love the open beak and the eye contact. Would also be tempted to remove some or all of the foliage.

Myself I like the hint of foliage on the top, this is one sweet shot Jim, super fine detail showing, myself I don't mind the largish branch as it helps indicate the small size of the bird..hahaha...love the rather large berry

[Jim Crosswell]

Thanks everyone for the comments and suggestions.

Love the bird's pose! Capturing it gulping down that huge berry is quite a catch! Detail is great, and I like the background. The leaves around the top feel a little odd. I think the light green they add to the background is nice...so maybe blur them out so they create a bit of a patchy green border around the top of the frame?

Very nice capture. I would also remove the foliage on top if you can. Otherwise, it looks great!
