Excellent on the bird and a nice touch with the pine needles. A bit over saturated, IMO.cool

Pretty bird and nice setting, Luke.  Looks like warm light added a little too much yellow to the mix, but it looks nice with the clear blus sky. Nice catch.

Lovely image, Luke.  The sky looks a bit oversaturated, but sometimes it is pretty blue, so that might just be me.

Cute bird, standing out nicely against the sky. Not sure how low the sun was, or if it is oversatured - looks quite natural to me.... Cheers, Hans

Not being very quick I thought it was a new warbler, either a Luke or an Ormand.  But, did soon realize it was a Pine Warbler on a Pine Tree!!  Nicely done.

Nice head turn and placement Luke. The sky looks natural to my eye. I am not sure how far you ca push the crop with your gear since I am a Canon user, but I would be tempted to make this a touch tighter. If you cannot, another option might be to clone out the branch on the far left.

I was trying to figure out if it was a Luke Warbler or an Ormand Warbler sad.

Beautiful shot in sweet light.
