•  Info A bay-breasted warbler. A lucky shot of this tiny bird. It just kind of appeared in a bush maybe six feet from me and I snapped a few pictures in the 10 seconds before it seemed to notice I was there and fly away. Messy background, but a rare opportunity for a close/sharp shot. all by — Rhododendrites ^talk |  03:41, 16 November 2021 (UTC)

•  Support Where is this thorn bush? In the Ramble? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 04:04, 16 November 2021 (UTC)
  • Added location. It was in a bush at the base of Belvedere Castle. — Rhododendrites ^talk |  04:12, 16 November 2021 (UTC)
•  Support Great pic. --Stepro (talk) 05:44, 16 November 2021 (UTC)
•  Comment Green tint. I've find that when photographing birds under dense vegetation I need to dial in a pretty severe magenta shift to get the colors looking natural. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 05:49, 16 November 2021 (UTC)
  • Wouldn't want to make a big adjustment, but I uploaded a new version. — Rhododendrites ^talk |  22:16, 16 November 2021 (UTC)
    • Hmm, this still doesn't look like any of the others in the category. The breast should be white, not yellow-green. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 23:24, 17 November 2021 (UTC)

•  Weak oppose per Poco, and King's concerns about the color. Daniel Case (talk) 04:25, 20 November 2021 (UTC)
•  Oppose I didn't support because of the busy background. It does seem that the covert tips are pure white, though I've never seen the bird. Charlesjsharp (talk) 10:56, 20 November 2021 (UTC)
•  Comment Ok, I've uploaded one more version with a different white balance. I don't feel comfortable going any further than this, though. If the subject is among lots of leaves, light will bounce off the leaves and turn white (or, if we're looking at the coverts, "slightly buffy") a bit green. I don't see a problem with that. Balancing the image to make the whites completely white makes the whole scene unrealistic IMO. If people feel that the light caused by the leaves means it shouldn't be FP, I can live with that. — Rhododendrites ^talk |  16:27, 20 November 2021 (UTC)
