One more from a Maine spot last June 2017.Found this very cooperative warbler just as the sun was setting along a high ridge road. This allowed the sun to light up the perch till last light.

I tend to prefer loose crops so I would be interested if you think I should still crop a bit more. Thanks for your input.

First, to answer your question. If it were not for the branch on the right, I might consider a crop. But, as is, the branch on the right helps frame the warbler, and I do not feel a crop is necessary. Great composition, light, and background, by the way!

I used to go for tighter crops but today I much prefer the bird smaller in the frame that gives a nice view of the habitat. I like this one and certainly would not go any tighter. Well done.
