I can almost never get the tail sharp on these birds! Constant motion! Nice and sharp view of this little cutie. I do wish for a bit more of a head turn. Sharon

Howard,

This is absolutely super. The composition, the sharpness and the background are all great. Well done.

Cute little guy! Nice image. I like the inclusion of the branch above the bird in the composition. Seems to make it flow...

Yep, I'm ready for some football!!!! GO BRONCOS!!!

Lovely species in a nice pose. I guess the F11 did the trick in getting the bird sharp from tail to beak.. Well done ! Hans

Is there a game today?

Still depressed over the Niners..
Nice catch - still can't get any decent shots here. Great pose, true colours, and sweet BG.

Another nice shot. I like the tail up pose and the feather detail.

Howard still very sharp even with the 2x extension, agree with Sharon re the head turn but it would be so nice if everything went just the way we would like it, still a great looking image.

Lovely, Howard.

As it turns out, there wasn't a football game today after all.

Nice shot of a bird that does not sit still for very long, way to go.

Nice, Howard. I like the included branch above-it works very well with the lines of the Wren.
