That's an awesome pose Sharon and your techs are right on the money! Love the intense blue sky for this bird too. Big congrats for this fine image.

Nice pose you've captured here Sharon, I'm thinking I may have stopped down a touch in this situation, for a touch more DOF. Image is sharp inside the DOF you have and the light is looking good.

A wonderful image, Sharon. Beautiful pose, perch and comp. I especially like how the yellow in the throat matches with the flowers.

Thats a lovely image, Sharon. It's a clean image with a simple composition, top shot IMO.

A great comp here Sharon. Love the pose of the bird with great eye contact and catchlight. Love the mullen stalk perch. Tail looks very sharp with the beak just a bit less so. May be a DOF thing being at f/4, or a slight motion blurr being at 1/320s. Overall, a very nice image.

Sharon,
I came back to this one several times. Love the pose - great head turn- and the color of the flowers are a nice complement to the yellow in the throat IMO.
Two thumbs up!

Nice getting this warbler so out in the open and the mullein perch is lovely. I love the head angle, the view of the back, light in the eye and the details. In the field I may have increaded the ISO some to gain enough shutter speed to obtain just a slight bit more dof to get the tip of the mullein and the bill as sharp as the rest of the bird, but heck; I know these little warblers don't often stick around long enough to even think about changing settings. That said; I'd still love to have this in my files.

Terrific pose; nice setting and composition. I might go slightly darer or increase contrast a tiny amount.

You couldn't get a better pose out of this little bird. Nice of him to sit on a complimentary colored perch. Excellent image.

Wonderful head turn and tail angle from this warbler Sharon. And I really like the matching yellows in perch and bird in combination with that nicely blue sky. The tail does look sharper than the head and beak to my eye.
