Superbly composed and executed image, Jim ! The sharpening is spot on, and the bird beautifully set against a delightful background. devil

Very nice Jim. Like everything about it, though I wonder if a slight contrast increase on the bird would be even better.

Addendum: Looked at it again today and it now looks perfect. For some reason my monitor made it look a bit flat last night. I wouldn't change a thing.

Looks good Jim. There's enough contrasting colors to show off the arctic warbler...............................Jim

The BG on this is very complimentary Jim. Techs are right on and the open beak is a big plus. Nice work!
