Yellow-Rumped Warbler

Nice pose and background and nicely framed between the vegetation.

Nice setting with the perch and vegetation. I like the vegetation on the right. I'm not wild about it on the left as it creates a pretty centered composition. I took a look and played with a tighter crop. I cropped from the left into the left edge of the OOF behind, and to the left of the bird, then cropped on the right to bring the bird into about a 1/3's position on the left, then cropped from the top. I liked it better. YMMV. The larger version shows the bird isn't quite as sharp as it could be. Looks like sharpest focus is on the lower foot.

I like the composition as-is, Sandy. The in-focus reed blossoms lead me through the image and my eye keeps coming back to the bird as intended. I agree with Keith that the bird could be a touch sharper.

Your photo has really captured the lively personality of this little warbler. Nice habitat, it's clear why he is there especially with the remnants of the plant in his beak. I do find the bird slightly low in the frame, but I'm not sure how I might go about dealing with it without knowing if you have cropped or not. Overall just a great photo.

Agree with Kurt on the sharpness, the surroundings are appealing so the crop works for me, though Kurt's suggestion could work as well - I guess some playing around would do the trick. Challenge with vegetation is to where exactly make the cuts , Have a wonderful weekend, hans
