One of my all time favorites -- as usual I was awarded the smallest of opportunity to catch a wren on film (well digital) and came away with just one frame. Thanx for looking.

Happy Holidays all!

Very nice! Love the feather detail under the wing. Looks like a bit more USM would make it even better.

Fabulous shot Brian, I seldom see a clean BG when shooting Wrens. A bit less saturation and more USM perhaps.

Terrific shot. I might lighten it a little and add a touch of USM. Wonderful background for a wren shot.
Happy Holidays to you too,

Brian -

Excellent shot! The pose and rich tones are great. Looks like there's room for a bit more USM.

Happy Holidays!

A gorgeous wren with beautiful colors. One zap of USM would be good. I look forward to seeing them in the winter. Nice job!

Well that one frame is better than anything I have. You capitalized nicely on the opportunity.
