Lovely bird on a pretty neat perch - I love the greens on those. Sweet BG. Vertical comp was a good choice, but I would rather have the warbler lower in the frame.

Nice capture - I too like the green and yellow accents. Just a quarter inch down would have given more room for the bird to climb upwards - so I agree with Daniel. Pose is great!

Daniel and Ihtisham, thank you for viewing and commenting.

Daniel, I can do that... easy fix. A repost with your suggestion.

Beautiful repost, Joe! I think the bird being on the lower half of the frame really adds to the image! :)

I'm a sucker for warbler shots, and this is a very nice one. The green of the perch really adds to the image, and the repost is a big improvement.

Repost much better Joe. Like the gently graded BG too.

Very sweet image Joe. The colours look so good throughout the image. Lovely POV and pose.

Repost looks good. The outline of the bird looks over edgy to my eyes.

Very nice image I prefer the repost. Lovely pleasing palette. You may want to think about running the Dodge Tool over the lores.
