Black-Throated Blue

[Paul Lagasi]

The day was overcast Sunday but some light was getting through, heard this guy calling and coming in my direction, leaned against a tree and waited.....BTB Warblers are great they stick low in shrubs allowing for eye level photos.
This is my favourite Warbler, they always bring a smile...

Sweet little fluff ball. The whites are a bit hot, especially on the wing. Nice BG and subtle perch, very sharp. Catch light well done.

Very pretty bird and I can see why it would be one of your favorites. Good job getting an open shot.

[Ramon M. Casares]

Agree about the whites although these could be recovered, the pose is great, the BG, soft light, perch and detail are also stunning! Cogratulations!

[Steve Canuel]

Nice looking bird posing in a nice angle and on a nice sized perch (I like the twisty feeders coming off of it).

[Thomas Herou]

Very nice paintinglike colors.Superb comp and BG.

[Axel Hildebrandt]

Lucky you, I have never seen one at eye level. Details and eye contact look good, I would tone down the whites more.

[Mike Lentz]

Fantastic species! Eye level is good and sharp. I agree with the whites being a bit toasty.

Beautiful bird.

They are amazing, they migrate from NA all the way to SA. and visit my country also.

The perch does not finish to convince me, so I did a little cloning here and there.
This is just a suggestion for you to consider. Actually, the main subject is gorgeous, just the perch that needed some help, at least IMO.

It looked washed out, I guess you forgot to convert it to sRGB.
