Nice Graham. I like the head turn and the perch. The directional lighting is nice too. In the larger version I am seeing some noise, but nothing bad.

Lovely colors, good detail, and nice sidelight Graham. I do see a slight amount of noise in the background of the LP as Ron noted, but that can be remedied easily with a round of NR. :toast:

Yes - nits covered and I reckon a bit of shadow lift would help too. Cracking bird and perch though.

Graham,
Stellar perch, head angle and background. Pretty good sharpness as well. Nits already noted. Might be able to recover some of the shadows on the back as well. Great directional lighting as noted by Ron. Neat image TFS

The lighting appears just a tad harsh, but other than that it's a wonderful image, pose, bird, perch and background all..... :jump:

I can't add much to what has been said, but I do think it would be worth the effort to try to soften the harshness of the light a bit. One persons gripe: don't use all capital letters; it' "shouting" in web parlance.

Great eye in this one, Graham. I like the pose and the Gorse makes a fine perch.

Hello Graham, nits already covered but i address also the diagonal line coming to from the tail toward the left border. I do agree,also, with open up the shadows in the back and reduce the harsh lights. another thing, on my screen it seems there is a halo around the warbler's back.
Cheers, Luca
