Busy wrens with a nest of babies. Put it up. Took it down. Here it is again, differently cropped and not so much processing.
Crop, levels, hue/sat on yellow with shift toward orange, select background and work with dust and speckles, inverse and work bird and trunk with sharpening, resize, save for web, no additional sharpening. Oh yeah, burned some on the motion bird (highlights and midtones) and cloned out some annoying vestiges on inversion/sharpening. Also reduced two white circular flares with cloning at <100%
I guess I really want comments on this one. It could be a four. It could be a 6. But it definitely shouldn't be just a 5. (Sigh.....)

A tad dark and requiring a bit more contrast. Love the action feel of this shot with one of the parents flying off. Any idea what species of Wren is portrayed?
this shot would have been great with faster shutter, like 1/2000 sec, composition and lighting are good, but the motion blurred bird does severe damage to the image.
