This was taken at a Wildlife management are in East Texas. I was waiting for a Northern Parula and this guy came in singing. I wish I had more depth of field for the tail.

I like it as presented; I don't think you could've gotten enough DOF to get the tail in focus, but you might have been able to get the feet. Great singing pose and excellent sharpness. It's a little tight in the frame. Thanks for posting!
Great singing pose from this Prothonotary Warbler. I also like the gradiant BG from URC to LLC, very nice. I would however suggest more room around the bird as it feels rather cramped as is. Sure it would be nice for more DOF on the tail but it is very well focussed and sharp where it counts ;-)
Like this lots, nice and sharp, beautiful color, exceptional pose. It does feel a bit tight, not enough to be bothersome for me. We try so hard to get closer and then when we do, we complain about it....go figure.
