Excellent IQ on the bird, Jim, a bit too many oof leaves for me....

[keith mitchell]

See what Dan means re the oof leaves but that apart Jim the birds sharpness and quality is excellent.

Thanks Dan and Keith. This year the Warblers came through after the leaves had come out making it harder to get a clean image or any images due to them being higher in the trees.

Very nice IQ, lovely warbler and with a nice pose. The green vegetation adds to the image.

I like the framing provided by the leaves. Bird looks a bit drab, maybe warm him up just a bit and mask off the sharpening on the wings.

[gail bisson]

I quite like the way the branch and leaves frame the bird.
Tack sharp and good pose from the warbler.
I agree with Grace about the sharpening of the wings. I often mask out that part of the wings when sharpening.
Always nice to get this warbler!

I like the inclusion of the leaves, and would actually like to have seen more above and to the left of the bird. I'm viewing this on my work monitor, but I wonder if you could pull some additional detail out of the black throat area?

Lovely image!

[Ákos Lumnitzer]

The leaves are fine with me, they don't overpower the comp. Bird is in a good pose, nice HA and great IQ.
I'd love to have had more leaves framing above. But take this as is anyway.

I like the alert pose and the nice details. I too am fine with the foliage. I haven't calibrated my monitor so take this with a grain of salt, but I'd warmify the image a tad. Nicely done Jim.

[Jim Crosswell]

Thanks everyone for your comments and suggestions. I will rework the image using some of them.

Excellent image of beautiful warbler. Nicely framed in leaves.
