I don't think it's an immature Vermilion Flycatcher but rather a female Bay-breasted Warbler. Is this a man made setup?
If this is a crop, I might add a little room back all around. Perhaps a little too much flash which doesn't give a natural look.
You sure were close to this one.

Nice capture of an interesting bird, Rob. I like the pose. It looks a bit soft in the eye area and it's a bit tight in the frame.

Hi Lana, no crop on this one - taken at about 6'. Thank for the critique. Stream bed "man made." Does this come under "Hand of man?"

A hand made stream bed......I'd consider that a "hand of man". You might want to post what you consider "hand of man" in future posts here....sometimes it's not that obvious. It sure is a natural looking "stream bed".
