About This Image

I thought this was a cute pose, making up for the vireo partially hidden by the foliage (an environmental image, then). As a side note, recently there was a split, creating an Eastern and Western Warbling Vireo.

Feedback Requested

Any thoughts appreciated.

Beautifully framed and the light in this one is great, Allen. An excellent image for my taste.

Great capture Allen! The natural habitat is working really well and I’m guessing it was fun following this one through the foliage. Having the beak open telling us it’s singing or chirping with the other birds. (female? I don’t know the species.)

The only suggestion I have would be to burn down the brighter oof foliage in the LRC. It’s not terrible distracting, but I think because it’s oof it stands out more. Minor though

You might darken these areas a tiny bit??

Great image overall

Thanks for your input, Huw. Good thoughts.

Hi Allen

Well framed, with a nice key light on the Western Warbling Vireo.

Excellent capture!! The areas noted to be darkened don’t bother me but the light reflecting off the leaf in the UR corner catches my eye. Burning it would make it gray but with a curve you can make it some semblance of the other greens – or just resort to AI fill.
