Bewick's Wren

40D, Canon 100-400@400mm, 1/1000 f 6.3, ISO 400. Normally this bird appears more brown but in this light
it was dark. I should have used flash.

It seemed to me it had a blue colour cast so I removed the cast and sharpened it a bit. Hope you like it.

Thanks Roy, that does look much better.

angle is not ideal and so the perch
repost looks better

Arsdel I agree with you that Roy's re-worked post shows the bird in its best colours. I'm not too fond of the cut end of the perch though. It's too bad that the head angle is pointing away from the viewer as the bill and eye seem OOF. Perhaps some selective sharpening would help.

Very monochromatic appearance to bird and perch. Critical focus is on the wing/shoulder leaving the eye and bill soft. Placing the focus point over the eye is usually the best option to get the eye sharp which is crucial to a top image. Blurred edge on the bottom of the perch between the feet looks a bit strange.
