Lovely details here chas and I like the choice of crop. Sweet singing pose and I love the BG too. I might be tempted to evict the one stray branch in the ULC.

Hi
I like clean BG,nice composition and singing pose. But doubt about accurate focus on bird.

[Dan Busby]

Chas. I love warblers and this is a sweet shot of that species. Lovely perch and background and a nice side view to keep everything quite sharp. I might also remove the stray branch and I can see some haloing, especially around the beak (perhaps a remnant from NR or sharpening?).

Beautiful little warbler, nicely captured. Love the singing pose; nice perch and bg. (Would evict the upper left branch.) A few areas look a tiny bit oversharpened on my monitor; and in a perfect world would have asked for a little head turn.

Thanks for comments.
The branch can easily be removed and interesting as you look at your own photos how something this simple slips past.
Head and eye in focus ,but bill was sharpened separately and apparently should have backed off this a little.
