Jaswant,
I like the clarity and detail of this image (other than the tail which is relatively minor in this image). The branch is a nice leading line moving the eye up to the wren. The wren has greater interest than the usual bird on a stick because of the material in its mouth. The muted green background is lovely. Posted: 01/03/2025 01:38:00

Great subject, textures, composition, lines, and mute background. Wrens are lovely, but always on the move.
Very nice capture. A keeper. Posted: 01/05/2025 15:36:13

I love the clean backgrounds that you are always able to create. This background is in perfect color harmony with the wren. I don't mind the tail being out of focus as it shows the constant movement of these birds. Posted: 01/08/2025 20:55:42
I agree with the above comments. I have just started to try photographing some wrens & they are very tricky subjects. Posted: 01/11/2025 02:07:35
I agree with the others and love the leading line. Your vignette works perfectly here. Nice. Posted: 01/16/2025 01:12:01
This is a lovely photo. It is centered well. The branch creates a strong line and the subject is dynamic. Also the capture of the bird's eye makes the photo so interesting to look at.
