It was quite windy and the perch was swaying everywhere so lots were out of focus or the tail was obscured as it tried to balance. Called in.

I really like this. Great sharpness and detail, great light. I love the perch and foreground, as well as the background. What a nice pose.

Great eye contact, natural frame and I like the foot on the perch.

Great techs but the pose makes the shot. Striking resemblance to our thrashers.

I like the bit of ruffled feathers here and there and touches of softness. Indicates it's not static nor is its environment. It's tack sharp perfect where it needs to be and the pose couldn't be more wren-like.
