Glenn:

Sharp, nice HA, pleasant BG, prey item, perch.

Might have tried to trade ISO for more DOF. There is however a bit of noise in the BG, and perhaps this is the best compromise with this camera.

Thanks for sharing!

Great shot. Like the colours bg and comp. Well exposed here

[Axel Hildebrandt]

Good angle, details, eye contact and the food item adds to it. I would run NR on the BG.

Great warbler photo-no distractions and juicy caterpillar adds to it a lot. Would have rather had bud over left foot behind right foot,but warblers just do not follow directions well.

Looks like he is actively feeding young. Great pose and what a beautiful bird to get out in the open. I do wish for more DOF here but in these sorts of lighting conditions there's not much you can do. I do like the composition here as well.

[Ramon M. Casares]

I love it, great light, pose, perch, BG, detail, colors and comp, prey is a big plus, I agree with Charles about the bud covering the left foot.
Big congratulations!

[Daniel Cadieux]

Nice one Glenn! I don't mind the shallow DOF as the image is sharp where it counts. Man, too bad about the bud covering the foot. The meal is a nice bonus!
