One from a couple of weeks ago. between bouts in the bath. I liked the way it was showing off the orange crown in this image.

This is a unique angle to view this warbler, Dennis. I like the pose, your composition and the elements in the image, especially the color scheme and light. The eye appears slightly soft to me and the focus point seems to be just behind it.

I LOVE the wet look, Dennis. Warblers are already special but this look is just very different. I really like the perch, too. The crop works for me. I think with the head slightly tilted to the right of the frame, we tend to want more rooms there but I think it will make the balance a little off. I agree with Govin about the focus point. It seems like a little more depth of field to cover the entire beak will be ideal.

Terrific capture of the orange crown and love the wet look. Agree on the point already made about the focus point.
