Mangrove Warbler- my first post here.

[Steve Bein]

This was one of the most frustrating birds Ihave tried to capture.Shot in Mexico along the mangroves about 100 miles south of the TX border. The bird kept returning to a perch where it was covered by several leaves. Finally one of the group just went and removed the "offending leaves" and the warbler returned and sang for us. All the best wishes for success on this new site.

Lovely shot of a great bird Steve. Does seem overly green as processed.

[Axel Hildebrandt]

Welcome, Steve. Great singing pose and perch. I agree with Brian. There seems to be a slight color cast.

[Judy Lynn Malloch]

Welcome Steve and I am glad you were finally able to get you image of this beauty. Love the pose and the open beak is a wonderful bonus but as mentioned already a slight green cast to this image. Perhaps a little more canvas to the right would also add to this capture as it appears a little tight and centered.

Hello there Steve!!!!!

Glad you finally made it :)

A touch of magenta in Color balance should get rid of the green cast, and I agree with Judy's suggestion o adding a bit of canvas on the right.

I have a request to see your lightning work!

Red carpet welcome, my friend!

[Glenn Bartley]

Oh baby. This is really nice. I do think it has a bit of a color cast. But thats easily correctable.

Cant wait to see more!

Fantastic singing pose and awesome colors, Steve!

[D. Robert Franz]

Great to see you here Steve. be sure to stop over on the wildlife forum as well.. Fine capture here a few nits that have been covered....

[Jody Melanson]

Beautiful pose Steve! I would clone out the sensor dust between his upper and lower beak, also I would clone out the Spider Web as I personally don't feel it adds anything here.
