Spring Dreaming

[ChasMcRae]

Daffodils are blooming and I am already ready for spring to see the warblers again.
This male Yellowthroat was shot at bird mister in back yard in Marion,SC.
I left the sparkly mist drops as is beading on the plumage. The log had been recently moved from the swamps.

I love the log and BG, they add a great environment for this fragile bird. The bird is well lit and has a great pose and head angle. The sharpness, details and framing are all very good. My only suggestions would be to run some NR on the BG and to brighten the eye a little. Congratulations.

Perch, angle and BG look great, I would put the bird a bit higher in the frame and wish for more head turn toward you.
