Allan- a delightful little fellow on a great perch . Clean BG, sweet colours and crown, and nice pose. Very well done!

What a sweet little bird and I love that you caught some of its namesake crown. I’ve never seen one of these guys so it’s nice to expand my experience of songbirds. I wonder if reducing the luminosity/exposure in the little leaves would be complementary. They seem brighter than the lightest plumage so it might be worth fooling with. Super catch.

Excellent job on this warbler, Allen. I love the pose and the perch is superb. The brown background sets off the image wonderfully.

Gorgeous catch with a lovely BG! I agree with @Kris_Smith on darkening the leaves a little.

Hi Allen, love seeing this beauty especially with the crown visible. Something we rarely get to see. Nicely composed with a pleasing background.
