    Wonderful image Frank
    The details a lovely BG and the perfectly placed bird , wonderful all the way
    THe open beak and the details on view inside the mouth are also good to see,
    the Perch is what i like too, in fact it will make a good photograph without the bird in the frame thats why the complete package is special to me.

    Excellent shot!!
    Terrific pose, really like perch, wonderful background and nice warm light.
    To me the reflection in the eye is just to bright and makes the eye look a tad wierd.
    Still an excellent shot.
    Well done.

    Love the rusty colors throughout this one Frank, lovely markings on this bird captured and singing pose tops it off, perch is interesting and compliments the birds color and like the way it enters the frame diagonally....my only thought would be to tone down the brights in the eye a little

    Sweet image Frank. Nice comp, singing pose, perch. I'd be tempted to completely desaturate the blue channel, but all else looks great.

    Hi Frank, great setting, great singing pose, and overall nice and sharp. You couldnt have picked a better BG to compliment the little guy if you tried.

    What a beautiful and classic portrait of this wren, Frank. Nice job toning down the reflection, that definitely improved it. Love all the warm, complementary colors.
