For such a small bird this made a great deal of noise. I am not sure whether he/she was requesting me to go away, or screaming to mum or dad for some food.
I just loved the vulnerability of the little thing, and purposefully left the colours pastel to enhance this. Does it work for you? All C&C very welcome.

It is a lovely composition, Wrens have a very loud song for such a little bird and seem to sing most of the year round. I love the pastel shading - it sets the bird off beautifully. Perhaps I wouold have cropped just a little off the top and LH side, but that's only my opinion

Very fine shot for my eyes. Thanks for sharing.

Agree with Kim about the crop but the pastel colours really enhance the image.

nicely captured Mike, these aren't the easiest birds to photograph as they don't tend to stay still for long. It's a shame the perch isn't more natural looking but otherwise a nice shot.
