I like the BG and bird's pose. Perfect HA. Not much you could have done about the perch unless you set it up. In that case it is a bit big for the subject. I'd sharpen a touch more. Nice going. Thanks for sharing. :)

thanks Akos, this was a perch of his choosing.

Super exposure and BG here. I wish I could see the other foot a bit more. The perch for me is ok, but would prob darken it just a tad.

[Mike Veltri]

Nice clean background, and good eye contact. Well done

[Axel Hildebrandt]

Very nice pose, head angle and BG. The perch is quite big, maybe a horizontal crop would work, too.

I agree that it could use a tad more USM, I would also suggest more saturaton and tad more contrast, but the image is VERY nice, pose, BG, light, and detail are very very nice.
Congratulations.

Wrens have such great personalities. Love the pose.....first thing I thought of was a "Captain Morgan" advertisement. The perch may be a tad large but I like how it has allowed the bird to pose.
