Nice catch Sharon! The insect adds a lot to this. Nice detail and a beautiful green background, excellent.

Sharon--A very choice image. I'm surprised that 1/320 sec was fast enough to stop the redstart's motion. Well done

This is very good Sharon !!! Love the insect in the beak, setting and the hint of light in the background. You did a nice job getting detail in the black areas, not easy to do. One of the best American Redstart photos I can recall seeing.

Lovely details in the blacks Sharon,
never easy to get them spot on but it's just perfect here.
On my screen i can see a fair bit of noise in the BG no deal breaker though but you can sure try & reduce it
