Oh a lovely wren like that lives in my garden too. I was painting outside yesterday and I could hear all the twitting going on in the trees and shrubs. A beautiful capture as they usually don't stay still long. When they do I usually don't have a camera with me. Top marks for this lovely shot. sandy

Don't think I have ever seen one of these here in the States. Lovely capture with good focus. Contrast is wonderful and allows the colors to be vivid against the white background. Good initial impact with great balance and framing. Good work.

Good shot of the blue bird. Good setting and b/g allowing the birds colours to stand out. We have a lot up here but they keep landing in the dirt and yes you have to be quick. Good detail, lighting and framing Thanks Mary

This is a very nice shot of this pretty bird! The clarity and colors are great! The eye got lost a little bit in the darkness around it! I often have the same thing happen when I get a picture of a chickadee! Overall very nice! Thanks for sharing!

A cute little bird with beautiful bright blue markings on it. This is another bird I've never seen before. Looks like the little guy is trying to hide in the midst of all the branches. Too bad there are a couple of branches in front of its head and body. Nice sharp photo and thanks for sharing this little guy with us.

Hi Mary, I love your photo. He's a beautiful specimen. I don't know how
you made such a great shot. They are so quick, it's very clear and just a nice clean shot. Well done.
