The perch, BG and especially headturn look amazing! Some detail on the bright white wing patch leaves something to be desired. It does look a bit soft on my monitor and I think another round of USM would certainly help here. Otherwise great!
Hi Raul, Nice alert pose and BKGR. COMP perfect. The bird needs to be selectively sharpened. I hope to visit Green Cay for the first time in about a week and hope that our paths cross.

One of my favorite birds. I like the body position and the head turn. I'd work on the eye to refine the catchlight, selectively sharpend, desat the background a bit, and darken the perch. Worth the additional work for this nice capture, in my opinion.
Thanks for comments, this is one of my own favorites captures.
I will follow recommendations, and see how comes up. I have not been in Green Cay on the last few weeks, going instead to Wakodahatchee, which seems more active at the moment, but I have to go back to Green Cay and check on warblers activity.
