Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.
Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.
Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.
Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

got this a coupla months ago. found this when moving my stuff to another host. BTW, for anyone else damaged by the pixspot issue, the dreamhost option kindly offered by mhd (thanks mate) is now even better,
20gb available. handy for offsite backup of whatever you wish!!
Back to this image,
I Liked the tail position.
Originally rejected because of the stick in the background
and the hottish bit on the head.
Decided to post anyhow in the absence of anything else.
handheld 80-400vr @400, sb800 full frame but cropped to vertical

Steve knowing how flighty these birds are that is a really good capture, and I like the pose.

I think it's.... superb! My personal opinion is that it might look better with a tighter crop, but it's still a good shot, given that those birds never seem to sit still.

oneputt:
the day I got this, I spent ages at the spot where I wanted the wrens to go,
I got heaps of females but not as close as this, but only this shot of the male, and even then he wasnt in the best position.

Steve I was camped at Sundown once and there were hundreds of the little buggers in all their splendid finery. Superb is a good name for them.

I like it too Steve - though I would shave a little off the sides. You've done your own critique about the head highlight but, hey, you got the shot and that's the main thing.

Beautiful Steve = I wouldn't give a rats about the blown highlight if I got the shot - I've never been able to get a good one of a Superb blue - I'm jealous 
Congrats

thanks for the comments.
I found the best way to get these birds is to put the time in.
I have spent ages trying to get these guys!!
