Reed Warbler?

[Bill53]

Just returned from a week in Cornwall hence my lack of recent activity on the forum.
Anyway this is a first for me, I think it's a reed warbler it was taken by the side of a canal near Bude in Cornwall.

Nice and sharp, however I would crop a lot off the left side

Agree with Tom.

Looks like a reed warbler to me Bill but as said a crop would give you a much better composition as he is far to much over to the right which makes it look like he is leaving the frame - alway compose so your subject is coming into

Nice and clear. I agree that a bit of cropping out on the left side will help to focus the eyes immediately on the bird.

Re: Reed Warbler?

Thanks for the comments guys, it is quite heavily cropped now and I think a more aggressive crop would lose too much image quality.
