Great to catch it singing in the open, Dan. I’m not sure a bout best musically, but certainly the most energetic about it. On my monitor, the wren is looking just a bit brighter than I’d expect.

The little wren certainly sings with a lot of gusto. Nice catch. I like the green bg and might tone down the one brighter reed. Real nice pose.

Love the perch and the calling pose. I also really like the OOF reeds in the BG. If mine, I’d darken the bird and perch a touch and reduce noise in the BG (something like the below). And I think David makes a good point about burning the brightest OOF reed.

Hi Dan, great job catching the singing pose on a cattail - quite dynamic. I like what Lyle did with his repost and pretty much echo the constructive comments of the others. Nice frame.

Hi Dan,

Lyle’s revision is closer to perfection. The bird is very bright on my monitor. You could darken the bright reed or clone it away if so desired. Well done…Jim
