It doesn't get any better than that for a Yellow Warbler. I love the isolation, sharpness and the addition of the small flowers in the background. The only thing I would change is take the two portions of leaves that are in-focus and blur them - or at least do that with the one directly below the bird

These little guys are tough to get, nice job on this Ray.
I especially like the contrasting greens of your BG.
I agree with Luke about addressing the two in focus leaves bottom..
Well done!

Very crisp details on the bird and great lighting in this photo, Ray. Also like your comp and the (mostly) blurred background. It's nice you were able to get a comp where the white flowers didn't intrude into your main subject. Wonderful shot!

I'm not a birder ... but this certainly is very appealing. I agree about the two leaves which are in focus. They draw a little attention away from the warbler.
