House wren

Saw this guy setting on the top of an old bird house. He let me slowly get fairly close. It was late in the evening and the sun had gone behind some heavy clouds which is why I was using ISO 800.

Canon SL 1
1/125 @ F-8 ISO 800 +0.3
Canon EF-70-300 @ 300mm

Nice pose, John and very close. Is this a significant crop? It could stand to be looser in the frame and the image has the look of something that was a bit soft and has been oversharpened. It's not that apparent in the smaller version, but it really shows up in the larger.

I'll echo Dennis' comments on this.

I agree with Dennis and Sharon on their comments John. Still a nice close-up of this little wren. :toast:
