House Wren.

[Daniel Cadieux]

A family of House Wrens are frequenting a nest box along a bluebird nest box trail, as is often the case. Instead of having them land directly on the box before going in I fastened a perch close to the entrance. They immediately accept it and use it, as is also usually the case:S3:.

Canon 7D + 500mm f/4 II + 1.4TC, manual exposure, evaluative metering, 1/500s., f/5.6, ISO 800, natural light, handheld, about 85% FF, "greened up" the BG that was yellower in the raw file than in the field.

Excellent shot, Daniel! Love the clean BG, pose, light and details!

Technically superb as usual. As a general observation, my personal preference is for a little more natural variability in the background. Regards, Ian.

Great image. Thanks for sharing your setup with us. I like the bird pose (typical for that species) and eye contact (looks like its checking you out). Detail looks very good and the BG is nicelu blurred. TFS

A nice image! I like the way the wing feathers are separated.
The diagonal perch is a plus.
IQ as always is excellent.
The BG is quite plain but certainly shows off this little bird beautifully.
