Golden-winged Warbler

[Alan Murphy]

D2X, 600, ISO 250, f8 @ 1/500, -0.7EV.

Upper Texas Coast

Using a water drip/pond during Spring migration I was able to lure this guy in. It wont be long before they are back.

Great photo! I love the way the bird's body is aligned with the angle of the branch. Terrific color and sharpness.

[Wayne Nicholas]

Sweet shot, buddy. The leaves frame the bird perfectly.

[Glenn Bartley]

One of your finest Alan. love the placement of the bird within the perch.

[Jan Wegener]

wonderful shot !!!

[John Cooper]

Lovely image Alan - good exposure, detail and composition. The diagonal placement of the branch works very well!!

[Krijn Trimbos]

As always a gorgeous shot Alan! Love the frame that the perch makes around the bird. BG, headturn and perch itself are all excellent!

Simply stunning Alan. All the angles work so beautifully in this image. Great work !!!

[Jim Poor]

Once again, well done. Are the drops on the leaves from the drip you set up? I'd love to see a zoomed out version of some of your set ups.

[David Hemmings]

What a beautiful Warbler, great comp and colors Alan. At first I wasn't sure about the leaves coming in from the top, but I think it adds to the effectiveness of the composition.

[Jose Suro]

Nailed it. Love how everything is in focus except the background.
