Jon:
A very subtle bird. well captured, with interesting perch. Nice catchlight, soft background. I am guessing your back garden is not covered in snow! -10 here this AM, with 2 feet of snow on the ground!
Cheers

Jonathan, gorgeous. I had to Google to realize this is in the Warbler family. Cool!
Checks so many boxes; nice, in focus perch, great sharpness on the entire subject, nice head angle and beautiful bkg. Lichen is great.
If you had the canvas you might consider bumping the frame right just a little. You would lose the little stem sticking up on the right and maybe balance the frame a touch.
I dig this though, well done.

Thanks everyone for your comments, Steve, I wasn't happy with the greens, I have a few ideas - always experimenting! (or messing about) - depends on how you view things!

Nice solid image. So nice to see the female of a species.
Good position on the bird with a nice view of the entire bird.
I like the variations in the BG.
I would crop slightly to eliminate the little bits if branch on the RHS and LHS or you could clone out.
I have never seen this bird IRL but think that the greens are quite heavy in the BG and perch. I would try for something between your OP and Steve's repost (which looks to yellow to me although the bird looks really nice in his repost)
TFS,
Gail

Now this is much better than the other two shots above. Bird is sharp and is showing good details you got a nice perch complete with moss which is great too. The image has a strong green magenta color cast which Steve fixed. Makes me wonder if you have a bad monitor or uncalibrated as I see it in every single photo you post. Something to this about.
