Taken off one of the trails at the Brig. Early am light. Wish I had stopped down some, but still very happy with this.

Lovely image Sharon. I like the composition but the vertical stick under the Warbler's tail is a bit distracting. The greens of the perch really show off the bird's colors and it is sharp where it needs to be. I wish I had one like this.

A great look at this warbler, Sharon. Very nice light and that perch is great. I do wish for a tad bit more depth of field to get that back leg in focus, however, a great image as posted.

Excellent as posted. Since the head is sharp and within the DOF it is sufficient for my tastes.

Beautiful light on this little guy, great shot Sharon. I agree about the vertical stick being a tiny bit distracting, but it doesn't bother me much.

Superb detail, Sharon, and I like the seed pods it's perched on.

DOF is fine for me. The head and eye are very sharp and show good detail. The background is great and I like the perch too. The stick is a minor distraction, since it is bright. You could clone it out, or darken it, or leave it as is. Very fine warbler image.

Really nice, Sharon. Sweet light, too. I agree about the vertical stick. I'd lose it or darken it.

They sure are drabber in winter plumage...

A nice shot for sure Sharon. The one bright stick is a bit of a bummer, but no image wrecker.
