Got real lucky with this Black and White Warbler when he landed in this tree that so resembled a hand
and no pinch LOL :))).
Taken at the Green Cay Wetlands with a Canon MK-III at ISO = 160 f/8 1/320th, of a sec. 500-MM-L
Bill I think that you have a lot of noise on this image claerly visible in the dark areas but also visible in the lighter areas too. The BG is very distracting but I like the pose of the bird and overal composition (maybe a litle bit of more room at the bottom)
I like your title, Bill. The bird is lovely and sharp and the diagonal comp is nice despite being tight. I would crop even tighter - removing form the top to eliminate the green leaf. The noise that Juan pointed out relates, I think, to this image being under-exposed and then brightened up in post. The exposure values you have given would be perfect for sunlight but the subject is in shade so has be underexposed.
I like it and agree with most everything said above. In addition, the image is a bit too contrasty. Wonderful posture and head angle.
