Sweet shot laura. You did an awesome job on the exposure of this one. i like the inclusion of the leaves on top. The catchlight really helps this too.

This one is excellent.....and as been said before....the exposure is perfect. Maybe this spring I'll start on warblers.

Excellent image. The bird, perch, and foliage at the middle and top of the frame are outstanding. I wish the "big wood" wasn't at the bottom of the frame, but even so, this ranks with most published images of this species.

Excellent shot, I like the leaves on top as well, plus the light foliage behind the tail.

Great job, Laura!!! I love the canopy of leaves and how they seem to give the warbler a feeling of security.

Awesome shot all around!!

Nice! I got my first brief glimpse of one of these in May, but was not a quick as you were. Didn't get a photo. Lovely bird and background. Bird looks a little disgruntled. Love its expression. Thanks for sharing.
