Nice singing pose and details. Great Warbler. The mostly OOF perch is somewhat distracting. While not always possible, I try to position the perch so it's mostly in focus.

Delightful little bird in a nice pose. Great colours and BG.
You needed a little more DOF so the OOF brnch was not so prominent.
Still, a very nice image.
Personally, I'd clone out the cobweb by the beak, as it doesn't add anything.

Lovely image of this bird. I like the shape of the perch as it enters from the lower left and turns at exactly the right point. I would clone out the OOF flower? at the bottiom

Mario, just my two cents, but I would resist the temptation to move perches or clone things out that were present in the original scene. This photo stands just fine as an accurate presentation of reality as nature presented it to you. If the OOF parts of the perch are really objectionable, you could always either stop down (probably impractical given the limited light and your focal length) or take multiple exposures and use focus stacking (quite practical and IMO a legitimate way to compensate for DOF limitations without misrepresenting the scene).
