Wow... this must be "Flycatcher week". Oh yea, it is! :wink: Terrific example Charles. I'm undecided about the upper branch... did you try it with the branch cloned out? I think it might improve the overall feel and focus on the bird. However, excellent as is. :)

Nice shot, like the comp and bird. The yellows are a bit birght, and some noise reduction would help. The angle is a bit steep too, but still a nice shot, these birds are hard to get IMO.

Well done. Cranking down the ambient and adding some fill would have helped open the shadows and keep the breast from being so hot. A little steep on the angle.
