Wren on the rocks.
This little fella just wouldn't get out of the way whilst walking on the coastal path last weekend. He waited whilst I unpacked my gear and crawled over the rocks to him. Not as sharp as I'd have liked due to using an extender on a zoom but I quite liked the somewhat unusual setting.
1/500 @f6.3
iso 320
420mm (100-300 plus 1.4 ext)
handheld
ripped trousers
sore knees.

Very nice, worth the effort IMO. Perhaps a bit off the bottom to reduce the OOF area.

Not like any of the Wrens I meet. They keep popping out and as soon as you point a camera at them, hope into the undergrowth.

Nice image by the way. :smile:

Nice shot and nice low POV Robert :toast:

Have to agree that it could be a bit sharper.

Not an easy bird to take pictures of. You have done well but i find the oof rock a bit distracting.
