Quite a bit of cleanup of minor debris in the water-are there any major omissions or evidence?
What artistic feedback would you like if any?
Does the composition work? Is it too tight?
Pertinent technical details or techniques:

This is really nice, Dennis. And I never tire from looking at all of your nice shots at your “pond”. The details and the reflection in this pretty Warbler is really great.
Excellent color, position of the bird, and water. I like the contrast between the avian colors and the aquatic colors. Looks like your point of focus was on the breast area of the bird.
I love this one and keep coming back to it. The cuteness factor is off the charts. Colors and detail are excellent. Not too tight and I love the reflection. Perfect as is!
