And I can say it is deserving to be a favorite. That is good work!

A top notch shot there Colin.Great tones to it.--charliezap

**ozwald** · 11-05-2014, 07:49 PM

I don't think you could have got a better background than that to suit the colouring of the bird! A beautiful shot all-round.

Na Horuk · 11-06-2014, 06:17 AM

Oh its a great one, too! Nice and sharp, good bokeh, dynamic pose, cute bird, well done!

thanks, I was cursing the defocused forground branches getting in the way and softening the contrast in some shots, but the defocused background branches produced a nice effect, cheers

thank you, I've never been able to get this close or have them sit still for more than a sec in the past, I think they felt quite safe in their " prickle bush " nothin of any size was getting in there without some serious pain. Beside I was trying to imitate their calls and they would stop and listen and give me a look like "what's this dingbat doing"

cheers

I have to second that!

The only time I've seen these guys is in the lion enclosure at Werribee Zoo.

On the ground they don't sit still long enough to press the shutter, I only got blurred shots

AlexBW · 11-06-2014, 09:17 PM

I love this shot, the details in the plumage is great. Third time today I look at the photo

Tom G, alfa75ts, thanks guys, they are normally quite elusive, had a bit of luck with these ones, cheers

Very nice... I don't think we get any wrens at all around here, further south maybe...
