Never expected such a gorgeous image after such a funny title. SH,BKGR, and pose are all killer in my book. Displaying, stretching, or just finished defecating?

[Dan Brown]

Great image, Dan! The backlighting really added to the graphics!

[Marina Scarr]

What a killer image, Dan, and a great title to match. What a unique and cutsie pose. Love everything about this esp that it made me smile.!

[jack williamson]

This is way too cool Dan! I love this image of this perky little bird, everything about it is just right. BTW, is VR on with these HH shots?

[dankearl]

Thanks Jack,
I never have VR off, I don't own a tripod that supports my lens, I always handhold.
Arthur,
The Wren had just landed and lurched forward.

Dan,

Thank you. This is great, gives me hope that there is something unique out there. Did he grab some nest material while he was there?

[Robert Holguin]

Stunning shot Dan.
Love the very unique pose you captured.
Excellent details, great perch, wonderful background and lighting.
Very well done.

I am very taken with this image and I really apreciate your sense of humor! Interesting looking perch, and the subject's pose just fantastic! I would not change anything here, the crop is great and the bird stands out so well against that lovely background. Superb!

You've knocked this one out of the park. Love the pose, warmth of tones and remarkable detailed texture. Extremely well done.

[David Salem]

Very funny Dan. Besides a great caption, its a great shot with tons of detail and details to look at. The fluffy perch, the pose and the smooth green BG make for a very fun and pleasing image. Nice 1!!

What an awesome shot, Dan. absolutely loved the pose. so funny. If mine, I'd crop a tad from the top.

[dankearl]

Thanks all, I wondered how the title would go over?
Laurie, yes to the nest building, have nice shots of the wrens grabbing the cat tails and grass, etc.
Fun little birds to observe.

[Tim King]

Nice and sharp, Dan. Looks like it just landed and is getting its balance. Great isolation form the rest of the cattails. Fine job.l

[Shawn Zierman]

The personality you captured is fantastic. I agree with all the compliments this fine image has received.
I could envision a slightly "smaller in the frame" version, but as with most great images, there is usually
room for different versions of the same shot....
