Taken in my garden, numbers of these little birds seam to be in decline

Great light, Ron. Detail in the bird is excellent. I might try toning down the brightest area in the lichen next to the foot.

Perky little guy. I like the comp, Ron. But I'd tone down the highlights a bit.

Ron,

Sorry to hear these birds (or any birds) seem to be on the decline. Nice to have them in your garden though. I like the pose of the wren but I really wish there were some light in the eye. As mentioned I would try to tone down the highlights, especially the lichens on the branch, they pull my eye away from the bird.
