Nice pose on this capture and exposure looks good, maybe a little too much sharpening and contrast IMO.

One of the best looking warblers out there - the sky isn't doing you any favors and you may want to play with the white-balance here but overall a good look at this bird

cool bird, agree with looking a little over processed.

A beautiful bird for certain. They are a challenging subjects to get a clean photo. The OOF perch cutting across the body and the sky are distracting. You can fix the sky by adjusting white balance.

A very difficult bird to find in the open; good job. The color balance or the white balance is off, giving you a funky-looking sky and sightly off colors in the warbler. Easily with the work of re-processing and re-posting.

Great looking bird and a nice pose, Myer. I agree with the processing comments. It's helpful if you post as much information as possible about the shooting parameters and the processing so people can make more intelligent comments about how you might modify your techniques.

Thanks everyone for their comments. The photo was taken on a dreary foggy day ISO 800 1/2000 sec f 4.8 Nikon D3s + 1.4 converter. Here is a re-worked photo
