Splendid Fairy Wren

[Rob Drummond]

Very quiet around here at the moment so here's something from last Spring.
I had about six family groups of these within about 100 metres of tent in the semi arid scrub of north est Victoria. each group usually consists of 3 or 4 'brown' birds and a couple of coloured males

One to be proud Rob. BTW I do not worry about the OOF tail. The BG is "splendid" and the pose really nice. Tack sharp. Well done

[Tony Whitehead]

Great shot, Rob. The colours and pose are lovely. The BG is really lovely - especially with the bluish central area.

[Marko Matesic]

Rob.....this is one beautiful bird :)....very well captured!
Sharp, great colors and BG.I think that croping little on the right side would give even better composition .

[Gyorgy Szimuly]

Beautiful image Rob. Love how nicely emerging the blue bird from the bg.

Really beautiful. I'd be happy to have it as is, but I might wish for a BG that is all that nice reddish brown without blue/gray area in the middle.

Did you do some work around the tail? Maybe S/H or blurring of some sort? There is a bit of a soft glow there.

[Glenn Bartley]

Oh baby! This is the best Ive seen of teis species for sure. Well done!

[Fabs Forns]

Stunning capture!!! Just being extra critical, I'd go back a little bit in the sharpening in the breast and head.

Great work, congratulations!

[Alfred Forns]

The image is impressive in every way !!! Agree with suggestions Cropping wise would move the bird slightly up/left Sure wish that different color area was not present but one fine image as presented Big Congrats !!!!
