Excellent. Not the most outgoing of warblers. Nice clear view; nice side-on shot; excellent techs.

Neat shot of a species I've still yet to see Charlie. That's quite the eye ring. Love the positions of the toes on the right foot.

Very nice profile and a great look at the eye. Looks like this is a western US species.

And it picked a nice perch! Nice when they cooperate so well, Charlie. Excellent image.

Great to get this guy out in the open, nice techs Charlie. I'd take a touch off both top and bottom to make it less squarely cropped.

Wonderful, Charlie. I've never seen this species so far out in the open; always skulking. Great techs and pose.

I like the natural composition. Colourful little bird it's sharp throughout with fine clear detail. The white really highlights the eye. Graham

What a great looking little warbler Charlie. Love that eye ring for sure. Great overall comp with a BG that compliments the bird very well. Well done making the most of this opportunity.

It is nice to be in the right place at the right time, excellent job reacting to this opportunity, the light can get pretty harsh at Sweetwater but this image has good detail. I like the composition, perch and eye ring, well done.
