Doug,
Thank you for a absolutely splendid image.
Your DOF placement makes Mr. Wren seem to be three-dimensional against the
bokeh of reeds that fade in the distance. I almost wrote "bouquet" instead of
"bokeh" and it would not have been far from the truth. The "in-focus" reed to
the left adds immeasurably to the overall composition, in my humble opinion; it
sort of helps to stop the eye in the plane of the wren and helps to move it to
him.
I am not familiar with the Marsh Wren but I have fond memories of a pair of
wrens that nested year after year in a purple bougainvillea near my home when I
was a boy in Florida. My mother always called them Jenny Wrens but I have no
idea why she did that or what sort they really were.
I enjoy all of your images very much and send all best wishes,
Bill
