Very nice pose and colors. I also like the dappled green BG that highlights so well the yellow-orange of the bird's throat. It's interesting that there is even some yellow in the feet. I find that the BG twigs take away from the subject, but then I don't know about how you feel about major cloning out. I think it would make the bird pop out even more. But these are just my thoughts. Fine image as is.

Beautiful, Claude. You might consider taking a bit off the top to go with a more landscape format.

Capturing warblers is always very tough. I think you did an excellent job with this one.

Always nice to see a sharp, beautiful wood warbler in breeding plumage. I would crop a bit from the top to make it a less squarish crop.
