    Like it - looks a tad dark on my monitor and could also use a little more contrast - how's this?

    A very pleasent portrait of this Warbler Guy - Good detail, compositionand & BG. The extra contrast in the repost has further enhanced the image. Good one!!!

    Nice pose and color. I like the brighter version better save for the added bill shine and one area of white that got a little too hot on the (bird's) right shoulder area. A layer mask could take care of that in a heartbeat though.

    Agree with previous and can add that I would like seeing the bird more to the UR and seeing a little more of the leaves? Very nice !!

    Nice close-up Guy. I might have backed just a little to give the bird more space in frame. I still would have kept the basic composition.

    Good suggestions above. Am surprised that nobody mentioned the white space at the top. I would definitely get rid of that as it draws the eye from a rather nice subject.

    Hi,

    The white space at the top, is a branch in the background. This photograph was taken in the woods and backlight.

    Unfortunately, I am not a fan of cloning !
