Great eye contact and an excellent look at this beautiful male Chuck, I like the framing on top, the one upright stick in the bg is a little bit unfortunate but nothing you could/can do about it really. devil

Superb, Chuck. Excellent job getting it out in the open and at what looks close to eye level. the detail in the larger image is perfect and I like the framing from the evergreen needles.

Nice shot, Chuck - I found them difficult to frame, since they seem to be quite restless... Nice natural setting. Cheers, Hans

The Warbler really pops nicely against the soft BG. Good job.

Really nice, Chuck. Great techs on the bird and just enough habitat to tell the viewer it's the boreal forest.

Well done Chuck! Nice color palette and sharp details in the warbler.

Very nice capture Charles. Warblers drive me crazy, they hide behind leaves, etc, etc,
