The mating Call!

The Marsh Wren
I post quite a lot of these tiny birds because I have a place with very good access and they seem to not mind
my being around. They are fantastic little birds to observe during mating season with their calling and poses.

Superb calling pose, I can almost here how loud he is calling. Excellent exposure and excellent detail.

Dan:

Agree with Jack, fine calling pose. The cat tail fuzz adds sig, as the perch otherwise is pretty bland.

Full of personality.

cheers

Excellent composition, detail and calling pose. Love the BG too.

Hi Dan, excellent sharpness, and you have nailed the calling pose nicely. Good clean smooth BG, and I like your choice of comp.

[Miguel Palaviccini]

Dan,

The dynamic calling pose makes the image. Everything is super technically. Not much more to add!

Superb shot Dan!
Excellent calling pose, wonderful smooth background, love the perch, and excellent details.
Very well done.

[Arthur Morris]

I'd post lots of them too if they were this good. Best thing about the image? The soft light.

[Doug Brown]

Love the classic wren pose and great sharpness. I might tone down the fuzzy stuff at the top of the frame. Well done!

Great image Dan! I like the pose, sharpness, details, exposure, BG and composition.

Man, he looks like he is singing his heart out. Awesome detail and it looks exposed very well. Beautiful green BG too. Well done Dan!

[Sanjeev Aurangabadkar]

Beautifully done Dan, I like the pose, the soft light (as Artie said) and the composition is cool! TFS.

[Daniel Cadieux]

Awesome! With the thin perch this time I don't mind it being on the other side of it :-) I love the bit of cattail fluff at top.

[Satish Ranadive]

Wonderful and beautifully balanced composition of cattail fluff perch and wren.
Excellent lights, colors,perch and details.
Love the calling pose cocked tail.

Regards,
Satish.

Really nice shot Dan.
Is that a broken branch on the bottom?
