    Default White-eyed vireo

    Taken early last spring before a lot of vegetation had started to green up. If I remember correctly it was overcast. Taken out
    of the window of my vehicle at a local conservation area. I had stopped because I had spotted a Pine Warbler in a brushy area
    and this guy/gal flew in and landed pretty close. Pretty common in my area and one of my favorite birds. Heavy Topaz Labs
    DeNoise applied to the background.

    Nice pose on the bird. Like the diagonal perch and that great background. Great view of the eye.

    Cool in your face close up with a great eye.
    Maybe a bit oversharp.

    I like the pose, perch and the BG. Excellent details the image is just a bit oversharpened and contrasty to my eye, ease offcon those a bit and it will be great

    I agree that the image is oversharpened as posted, but I love the pose, colours, BG. Maybe a bit more room top and right would not hurt, but lovely all around. We had one show up this fall for a couple of weeks that caused quite the hoopla among the birding community (rare bird for us).

    Beautiful capture elegant pose, for me too it appears a bit oversharpened and heavy in contrast. I would also apply a little NR to the bird and perch.

    Spectacular bird and spectacular image that could be improved as noted above. In addition, I would tone down the YELLOWs just a bit. But all in all, wow!

    As said a bit ovrsharpened. I also think it is a bit to tight, especially on the top and right. Everything else is very beautiful! I love the small dots on the perch, the eye contact adn the colors.
