A very nice frame. I really like the color palette and the way the comp flows. Nice capture.

Jay: I really like how the bird is framed by the foliage and the warbler presents very nicely against the muted background. When viewed large, the bird is a bit soft. I think some selective sharpening would bring it into sharpness nicely. Richard

Excellent composition, Jay. I like the layered greens and the thorn is perfect for lending scale to the warbler. Beautiful image.
