Texas Wren

I found a pair of Wrens building a nest in one of my nesting boxes. It was really fun watching them bring nesting material to the box. Processed using Lightroom 5 and Photoshop CC 2014 along with Light Craft's LightZone.. Comments and critiques welcome.

Great pose, Jerry and the nesting material is a nice bonus.  Well done.

Jerry, really tiny nit...I might move this a touch more left to off center it. Other than the tiny nit, love it as posted. Nice work!

Great little fella !
Like ours but the tail a lot longer. Nice food item too. I think I would take a sliver off the left to get it looking into the shot  a bit mre. Still  a cracker though.

Sweet image of the wren, Jerry. Classic pose with complementary background and light. I too second moving the wren a little left in the frame.
