RL,
Great exposure, nice details from front to back, and a good pose. A couple of things detract from the image for me. The first is the OOF twig that he's wearing as a hat. The second is the the little nub of the branch that he appears to be looking at. Question RL, was this shot at f/8 or f/11? You have very good depth and lots of detail even at the tip of the tail.

RL,
I like the saucy pose of the wren and the great head angle. There are some whites & light in the area below the eye of the neck and cheek that are blown and some on the branch the wren is perched on. The light you had still looks a bit string, taking this a little later in the day might have helped. If you shot this in RAW you maybe be able to bring those hot spots down in ACR. I might consider a little less room at the top of the frame and a bit more at the bottom if you have it in the original frame. Love the great view of the eye.

Love the wrens and this is a great example of their personality. The techs are great but the branch in the BG is a little distracting. Nice job over all.
