Female Yellow Warbler

[Jack Backs]

Some terrible weather the last few weekends. Reviewing some images from last spring and came across this one. It was later in May when audio had pretty much stopped working
as most birds were busy with raising broods. A pair of feeding Yellow Warblers were making their way towards me. I did attempt audio and was surprised..and a little disappointed it
was the female that came down to investigate. Removed some OOF clutter, selective burning.

Top pose here, and good detail. I would be tempted to trim that bit of branch at the right angles to the perch.

Hi Jack. Beautiful shot of this cute bird. Excellent detail, clarity, pose and HA. I'm fine with the perch as is. If anything I do find the BG a little dark. TFS

Beautifully detailed little Warbler, nicely positioned parallel to the sensor. Shows up well against that dark BG.

I mulled over removing the right angle branch and couldn't decide if leaving it was good, bad or indifferent.

Great looking bird with a nice pose. Nice details here. I see some posterization on the BG but that may just be my comp. I would clone out the bottom twig that gets cut off, and desaturate the blues on the perch behind the bird. I would also remove the lone specular HL on the far branch. TFS
