Nonetheless I like it. Very nice light on the warbler calling from a great perch. Like the cobweb, and would only suggest opening the top of frame if you have room. Well done.

Very nice indeed. Agree with Geoffey about a wee bit more on top, but fantastic image. Very sweet all round. Nice one Eric, thanks for sharing

THis would really benefit if you had more room all around.
A really special image IMO.
Well done and TFS!

Hi Eric, what a lovely singing pose, and such a pity he didnt look the other way. Having said that, the spider web really adds to the image, and agree, more room all round wouldnt harm the image.

Hi Eric, I really like the side morning light. Great background. I can see, as the others have suggested how a looser crop could work well. That, however, may lead to some ambiguity as to what is the subject ... bird or cobweb? As an alternative point of view, I can see how a tighter crop could work too, bringing the bird out as the subject an showing just part of the web. Certainly a charming photo to study, Eric! Thanks for posting it

Quite lovely. It pays to break the rules sometimes. Agree with the comments above; and I love the insects in the web.

If you have more, I would like to see it, but the comp works for me. Maybe sharpen the bird a tad more..

[Eric Dienesch]

Thank you all, i will consider it !!
