    Very pleasing image Chris! Excellent sharpness and detail. Awesome pose and composition too. Overall a bit bright and colours are washed out.
    Would suggest some levels adjustment and also reconvert from RAW to keep the reds less bright.

    Another beautiful shot Chris - soon we will have to start calling you "King of the Fairies"

    I do agree with Ofer's comments about colours looking "washed out" - I think adding a bit of black "Selective Color" to the blacks may also help you out in this regard.

    Very nice pose and I really like how you have isolated the wren on the great looking grass stock.

    Good suggestions already given on adding a bit to the depth of colour. i had thought perhaps adding some black to the green colour may add to the stock.

    Well done.

    I especially like the composition of the image! Do agree with Ofer's critique about both the brightness and the colors.

    I echo Ofer's comments exactly. Lovely composition and perch. A little more PS work will do wonders for the image!

    Thanks for the feedback guys! My PS "skills" are slowly getting better. I'll try and have play with it over the weekend.
