Hooded Warbler

Going through some Texas photos, may actually have most edited by April when I am back own there

Just pixel peeping on this Hooded Warbler; only got a few shots off as he was hopping, and light was pretty rough under trees. Thanks for any feedback.

If it were mine, I’d use some noise reduction and darken the perch a bit At the lower left.

I've taken tons of photos of these birds. They're not easy! Yes, I agree about the noise reduction and darkening that part of the perch. The pose is interesting. I realize there's not much you can do about that, but the fact its body is facing away but the eye is looking back makes it work.

It’s oversharpened, very noisy, I’d change the crop to be a bit looser, darken the perch, lighten the bird and BG overall, and maybe less contrast.

Pretty little bird. Great position from the bird and a nice clean BG. Well done.

beautiful capture - your processing let you down in my opinion.
Like BAL Land said - it's oversharpened and the bg is patchy - one can see where you did work.
But that is so easy to fix - you started with a good capture - it's just a question of fine tuning the retouching.
