The only thing I would have done with this Jeff is remove the pin-hole catch-light in the eye created by the flash. I like the image very much- it really shows off this special species. The feet are great and you can just see a hint of the olive back of the bird. The clutter above the bird's head is a little distracting but I'm fine with it.
Very nice catch of a pretty little bird.
Very neat image Jeff!
Sweet. You don't give your specs, but I think your compromise on Dof was a good choice, a bit of tail for more blur in the background.
Nicely done. 800 pixels tall is better than 600 tall... Wish that the bird's head were turned just a tiny bit towards you.
Do these guys nest up there???

The Northern Parula nests across much of the Adirondacks, Green Mtns. of Vermont, northern NH, and Maine. Closer to where you used to live in NY, I think they are breed in the Catskills. They are usually found quite easily by their song in, mixed conifer-hardwood forests, but very high up in the canopy. I was able to get this one at eye level along a trail that climbs a ridge and gets even with the canopy.
