Really nice image. The details in the feathers are superb & the red perch & background look good too.

The wren is quite superb but undecided about the B.G.

I'd kill for any half decent shot of a wren. This one is a beauty and although the bg is quite fussy, it doesn't interfere with the shot. Gives it a sense of where they live and is very appropriate IMO.

Not an easy bird to get an image of, would have liked the head turned more, nice detail on the wing panel...

I don't mind the background too much but it's a shame the wren is facing the wrong way.
