Hey Bill, I am going to call you the King of the Warblers. Lovely image, the color palette all compliment each other and work well together. You did well, know how hard to capture these little guys, they are constant motion rarely staying still. Thank you for sharing.

nice Bill, like the delicate balance and the nice colors, wish the shooting angle was less steep and some of the dried leaves are a bit distracting. i see a yellow cast on my screen

Thanks Joe and Arash.
Arash, I agree on all counts. There are a few warbler species that will choose to forage at my eye level, but most do not. And unless one uses setups, one is at the mercy of the bird's choice of perches. Still, the image could be more appealing if those issues weren't there. As to the color cast, the yellow cast is indeed excessive -- more so than I had realized until I went to adjust it. The repost makes a major adjustment and looks better. Had I gone back to RAW capture, I might have done better with the adjustment. But it raises a question that nags at me from time to time: when shooting birds in the forest, where the light is often filtered through green or yellow leaves, is it better to accept the light of the situation, or to try and make the whites and neutrals more neutral?
Like the pose he's given you, Bill. Nice defused warm light and appealing slight head turn. Personally I like the original post.
