Yet again this Wren or Wrens appear to be nesting in the ivy at the side of my house.
Wanted to see what results I could get from Nikon at 800 iso., as its something I normally wouldnt consider.

Hi Major
Great shot. I was watching a Wren in my garden this morning, such small and difficult birds to photograph so you have done well here. Sharpness, detail and background colours are fantastic. I might consider just cropping a fraction from the bottom, I think this might improve the composition, for me anyway.
cheers

Cute shot and a super BG
There looks to be a bit of a sharpening halo around the beak on my monitor Major

The detail captured here Major is awesome, maybe a bit to much on the beak area as Andy pointed out, slight nic pick but still a great image of a cracking little sprecies.
Is that a dodgy foot he as acquired?
With regards to the two tone background, I do agree whole heartedly with Sean, cropping, I like it the way it is.
Like it alot

What a sweet shot. It looks as if she has an injured foot but I presume she is perfectly able to manage.
