This beautiful little wren raised his family in this oversized bluebird house (in which a bluebird has never settled) in the backyard. When the background turned out almost black, in this late afternoon shot, it was a bonus! Used a dose of Topaz Adjust to bring out the rustic look.

Michelle, I'm glad SOMEBODY used the birdhouse for their family! This little cutie looks even tinier compared to the house, especially with the dark background almost swallowing him up.Manuel Barrera July 10, 2009
