Chiffchaff (Phylloscopus collybita)

One of the few occasions I got a clear view of the Chiffchaff, I did have to remove one branch however...... I did notice the two leaves at the base of the twig, I think they are inconsequential.

I like the singing pose and the delicate perch. There appears to be a smudge on the middle right of the frame. Is that where you removed the branch? Or just some digital artifacts?

Thanks Sharif I didn't notice it, yes that is where the branch was.

Hi Jon ... nice calling pose and the clear view to the Chiffchaff is great .

Details and tones are good as is the sharpness for the most part .

I do See two minor " issues " .... the blue color bleeding into the feathers and the grain in the OOF areas of the bird , just my take .

Thanks Andreas, I will bare that in mind - probably a masking issue.
