Wilsonia pusilla

I would have liked a bit more head turn, but I was happy to just get this little one out in the open. I was only able to get one click.

1/500, f4, ISO 200

All comments and critique appreciated.
Thank You.

Good clean view of the warbler Matt. Image quality evident in the larger view. Excellent background. I do find the bird slightly centered, but remedying this is problematic.

Fabulous! I don't mind it being centered at all. Probably because the angled perch leads the eye so well. The detail on the large version is amazing and the catch light puts it over the top. A really great image.

Nice view of the warbler; very nice detail and good exposure. I wish the bird wasn't as centered as it is, but I'd be happy to have taken this.

Great job getting the bird in the open. Tough to do with these guys. I think the comp works with the leaves in the opposite corners. Nice exposure.

Very nice Matt, great inquisitive pose well captured in soft warm light, I could see taking a little off the top and RHS to de centre the bird a little.
