For some reason I’ve had very few warblers coming to my pools this year. The only others were an extremely short visit from a Wilson’s and early on a Yellow-rumped. This one’s been coming in for the last 10 days or so.
Anything. There was quite a bit of cleanup of debris in the water and I toned down the upper part of the background significantly.
What artistic feedback would you like if any?
Anything.

I understand the wildlife sometimes coming in streaks, Dennis, though I don’t understand the reason(s) for it. However, it’s always fun to catch a bird bathing, and you did a fine job of it here. I like the pose of this little guy, and the details are wonderful. Nice shot.
Wonderful shot, Dennis. The details are really great, and the water droplets in air indicate the motion of him taking his bath. You really have a very natural looking setup.
Hi Dennis
I never new there were so many times of Warbler, is a Black & White? As always the framing, bathing, color and detail are great. Nice work.
