Even though it's a million degrees outside I am putting in a vegetable garden. The Rock Wrens move in and clean up any stray bugs that I dig up.

A Rock Wren on a rock ? What the heck. Looks great Charlie. Nice look at the camera and the techs look great. Maybe a bit off the top? Well done

Pretty late in the summer for starting a veggie garden, Charlie. Beautiful palette and your usual impeccable job on the details. It does look a bit centered to me.

Nice sharpness and nice to see this wren in his natural habitat. I personally wish you had copped off a bit from the top and kept this a 2x3. I don't think the very top adds anything to this and being OOF, really just takes away from it a bit. Great techs as usual.

Nice details, complimentary background color and a very appropriate perch. Thanks for posting, Dave
