A classic singing pose and a strong diagonal perch make for a good all round image. Lighting has been handled very well, with some good detail in the white throat. With regards to the comp, I would have placed the bird bang on the upper left third. I would also give it another round of sharpening. So the very minor nits aside, it's a good looking image, Jonathan.

Nice looking shot and I really like the BG and the setting. Great looking singing pose also. I agree with Andy about the comp and the sharpening. Nice work.

Well done composition, like the BG too. I agree with Andy and David, more sharpening would like to see at least around the head. Cheers! Miro

Love the calling pose and the lovely light and BG. I am seeing the head is not as sharp as the rest of the bird and could use more sharpening. If this is a set up you are going to reuse, I would consider taking off some of the right side of the perch.

[Juan Carlos Vindas]

Cool shot of this handsome bird. The singing pose is good and love the skinny perch and clean BG. I do wish the eye was a tad sharper.

nice singing pose,like the BG and perch,agree with other's,head a touch soft.

Lovely pose captured and the BG is superb
i may even give it a vertical compo if it works well
the singing pose keeps the viewer on the bird, very nicely done

[Stu Bowie]

Hi Jon, lovely singing pose towards the heavens, and I would try a version moving the warbler a little back to the left a bit.

[Andrew Robinson]

Some minor nits covered but very nice Jonathan.
