Peter:

Sharp, well exposed, excellent DOF, interesting perch, soft background( with a little blue to pick up the color on the bird)

Interesting to see the feathers growing in.

I might try a version with the top cropped down to just below the small bump on the top of the perch, personal taste.

Cheers

Randy

Thanks for CC Randy. Yes please try a cropped version. I would love to see it.

Hi Peter, cool little fellow, and I do like that curved perch. I like the blues and blacks of the wren, sharp, and great that you got the cocked tail in the DOF range. I agree with Randy, a little off the top wont harm this.

[Tony Whitehead]

Very sweet. Love the curved perch and pose. Agree on the crop suggestion. Super sharpness and BG.

[Morkel Erasmus]

great pose and exposure on a pretty little tweeter...
I can see the merit in Randy's crop suggestion.
BG is to die for...

[Frank Schauf]

Excellent light, details and bg.
