Awesome capture Missy. An understated perch and a muted background make a perfect complement to this beautiful warbler. In spite of repeated attempts during trips to Ohio and Texas, I have yet to see this bird let alone photograph it. Congratulations.

Hi Missy


As others have stated this is an excellent image. I will pose a question though. Is this a crop and is there more room underneath? I feel the near vertical twig on the left adds little and wonder if it is possible to have more space underneath and crop out the left hand twig.

Cheers

I'm with Graeme on this one Missy, I love the beautiful capture of the little warbler but I wish that vertical twig wasn't there.

Great image of a great Warbler species, Missy. Was my nemesis bird for many years.

Wonderful capture of this beauty
I too would like to see a bit more room at the bottom and the vertical branch cropped out
