Blue-winged Warbler #2

[Bill Dix]

Another from last Sunday. Most of the BG behind the bird was dark as shown. I painted out a brighter spot to the right, and cloned out an oof leaf. Sure, I wish the entire bird was visible, but I like the way this shows just how small these little warblers are.

Great shot! I love the contrast - bright bird vs dark background. The details and the environment are excellent.

The leaves frame the bird nicely Bill, and the yellow just 'pops' against the dark BG. Well done.

This is lovely Bill.
I really like the BG color and the comp you chose.
Lovely details on the yellows.Perfect head position.
I also like the environmental feel. The leaves are not overwhelming and show the small size of the warbler.
You are really doing well with "extreme warbler photography"!!

Beautiful shot, Bill! Very nice exposure, composition, pose and details! TFS

A very appealing shot Bill. The techs look perfect and the colors are right on. I like the setting and the leaves but I wish the one leaf wasnt covering it up so much, not bad enough to ruin it by any means, just in a perfect world kinda thing. Nice work

We did get some great poses on several different perches. One more beauty in the series. Love how he pops from the BG.

Yet an other great image of your Warbler series, Bill.

I love this image Bill. The light is great, the warbler is just glowing. Love the grey bg and the leaf covering the warbler doesn't bother me at all. Very nice image.
