    Default Palm Warbler

    I captured this image at Circle B Bar Reserve in Polk County, Florida. The little ones are filtering in as the cold up north drives them south. This winter I am going to pay special attention to capturing images of as many as possible, a test of patience and resolve as they seem to be constantly on the move and mostly covered for protection. Comments and critique welcomed and appreciated. Thank you for viewing.

    Nice capture Joe. If they are anything like our Warblers they are there one minute and gone the next, very difficult to capture in a pleasing position. The position here is very good with the full bird showing. Great perch and background. The bird is nicely positioned in the frame, sharp and nicely exposed. I might be tempted to loose the oof foliage top right. A very nice image TFS

    You caught a nice view of this warbler and the perch is pretty neat. Also like the composition and the light here.

    Nice image Joe. You captured a good pose on the bird and have a great perch and a pleasing background which are the key elements in songbird photography. I do wish that the dark area was not in the background just to the left of the bird. I really like the inclusion of the plant in the top right of the background.
