Very nice shot Bill. I really like the perch and the pose of the bird is nice. Detail looks nice especially the eye and the BG is pretty clean too, especially given the forest floor setting. Something different than the warbler shots you usually see -- TFS

I like the perch and detail on the bird.

Hi Bill, you and Geoffrey have been cleaning house on these warblers. Good image under difficult conditions. Thank you for sharing.

[Geoffrey Montagu]

Good one, Bill. Interesting capture of this beauty. Like the morning light and and your use of fill. Very nice BG too.

The image is very natural looking. The colours on the bird really pop against that perch and BG.

Nice one.

Nice behavior captured, good colors and detail, I like it a bit more when I scroll down a little and chop some of the space off the top. nice shot.

[Bill Dix]

Thank you all. Good point about the crop, Michael.
