Hello Graeme
It is a bit of a shame about the tail being hidden by the foliage, but the head is the important area in this image, and my eye was drawn straight to it. I think the pink showing inside the mouth just makes it excellent.
Best wishes
Phil

Would have been nice to see the whole bird, but still a very nice image!
I am with John and I have seen worst pictures published in birding mags some of them mine, nice shot in great light, agree with about seeing the whole bird but I like out of focus stuff in front as it leads your eye more to the subject.

6 repliesDon't know about this one. Although a nice pose, I can't help feel that the foliage is too distracting and too much of the Warbler is hidden.
Appreciate your opinions.

Yep, would be better without the foreground leaves but otherwise this is still a quality image.
cheers

Foreground leaves don't bother me here at all, as all the attention is focused on the wide beak

I don't find the small amout of obstructing folliage a major issue.
Love the wide open beak.
Definately a keeper,IMHO.
