The tough guy

This wren visited a perch in my garden few days ago- not baited (I quit with feeder: only robins came there)- Slightly cropped and a bit of noise reduction and selective sharpening on pp.
Nikon d90- nikkor 300mm F4; ISO 400; F4,5; 1/100; -0,67 EV; tripod
(sent it again because first time I posted a wrong file)
Any comment is welcome, Fabio

Lovely image Fabio. I like the smooth background and the placement of the bird. The perch is really nice too, creating a triangle that directs the viewer to the bird. Nice one.

Wonderful capture. I'll match wren's attitude against any species, gram for gram. All that sassy belligerence, well-captured here. Nice perch, light and background, too.

Quite a tough looking little character, Fabio. Beautiful. Interesting to see that the bird positioned itself right at the top of the bend of the branch: maybe reflects a "king of the castle" attitude.

Love the perch and creamy bokeh Fabio, it's nice and sharp..
Sometimes we get lucky as you have here, and capture the true spirit of the bird.
Perfect title, tough lookin' little guy

Very well done
