House Wren Again

[Sid Overbey]

This little guy has made a home in a brush pile near our house. He seems to be out singing away every morning.
He is also very quick!

Thanks for comments and suggestions.

Tough conditions to photograph in. The +2/3 EV has blown out the perch and whatever morsel is in the bill. Your best friend here would have been fill-flash instead. Good looking bird that can be difficult to photograph :-)

Very nice pose and BG Sid. Daniel covered everything else. thanks for sharing.

[Doug Brown]

Have to agree with Daniel about the fill flash here Sid. It would have allowed a more even exposure. Thanks for posting!

[Stephen Stephen]

Sid I have to agree with the others about the exposure. That being said I don't have anything on this species.

[Axel Hildebrandt]

Very nice eye contact and BG. If this is RAW, you might be able to get some details back in the overexposed parts.

[Robert Amoruso]

A lot going for the image with the head angle, perch (at a diagonal), and food. The harsh light, fill-flash need has been covered.

[Arthur Morris]

All of the problems noted above are caused more by the poor light angle than by the quality of the light... Best to simply point your shadow at the bird... I do like the BKGR.
