    This is very nice..... maybe sharpen the beak a tad more, maybe some NR made it soft.

    Geoffrey nice singing pose, perch and colors, this could have benefitted in DOF with a higher f/stop.

    Very attractive image, the warbler is a little beauty. My bet is the soft lower mandible is due to motion and possibly limited DOF.

    I like it as is. Lovely colours, pose, perch and BG. More of a head turn towards you would be my only wish. I'm fine with the sharpness. TFS

    Thanks Dan. No noise reduction on the bird.

    This is really nice Geoffrey.
    Love that singing pose and the comp.
    I would decrease the overall contrast on the bird and that would likely bring out more detail in the whites.

    Love that dark green background. Really makes the bird stand out. Nice perch and singing pose.

    Well done Geoffrey...What a lovely looking bird. Very nice colours throughout, with good detail. I agree with Gail about the contrast.
