This is delightful. I love the understated look with a darker background. Nice position on the warbler. Good light and detail.

Beautiful image Howard, love the perch and the background is really pleasing. I was out this morning shooting Warblers too, but my efforts didn't pay of nearly as nicely as this. Excellent work.

Nice comp Howard, this shot has a peaceful, serene feeling to it, probably from the soft, painterly colors and the fact that the warbler isn't making eye contact.
