Palm Warbler 2/redo

I prefer this to version #1, although both have their individual merits. My only issue wiith this version is the warbler seems a bit over sharpened, and yet not as sharp as I would like it to be. I think you use Topaz for this but I don't know anythnig about how it works so I can't suggest any way to deal with that.

Thank you, Richard.  Yes, I processed this one differently in Topaz.  I should have said that in my post.  I can definitely deal with it differently.  Thank you.

This is very nice Barbara. I like the mood that the side lighting gives it and your comp is perfect imo. The sharpness looks good to me, you can even see cobwebs on the branch! Nice work!

I like this version more than the first image of the series you posted. Still wish for more light in the eye.  That can be helped via post processing.  Something looks odd with the plumage in the bird.  It looks like it is crunchy from sharpening gone awry.

 

Thanks for the comments, Richard, Steve and Keith.

Richard and Keith, I've processed this differently to "decrunch" it, I think.  Richard, I'm not sure whether this will address your "not as sharp as I would like it to be" comment.  Keith, I've added more light to the eye.

Please let me know what you think, and if anybody has any additional feedback that would be great.

Thank you.

I liked the original and this one, particularly the repost is nice as well, though for my personal tastes, the shadows were probably relieved more than necessary.

Gorgeous all around! I think I slightly prefer the repost detail wise.
