Great pose and nice image quality. Very pleasing color palette. I do find the dark area above and to the left of the bird distracting and if mine I would probably try a version with it cloned out and perhaps matching the tone of the bottom left of the frame.

Hi Jim,very natural looking feather detail and a good pose,bird blends well with that nice bg.Just said above I do like these colourful Warblers on your side of the pond,thanks for giving us a look.

Awesome se with the feet clutching the perfect thin perch. I'd go for lightening the darker patch in the BG, while leaving it visible, but apart from that this is A-1!

Excellent image of beautiful bird. Beautiful Bg, colors, details and composition.

Thanks for the comments and suggestions. I thought I would post it as shot but was thinking that the dark patch was a little to eye catching. Here is a toned down version plus a little darkness added to the other side to balance the image out.

Do think this improves your image Jim,I wonder sometimes about removing things making an image look a bit sterile not in this case I must add.
