Nice shooting, Birdie. The shape of the wren is a set of such graceful curves - you captured them perfectly. Love that dragonfly - maybe my fav of the set.
There are 'keepers' and there are the ones to 'present'. Just remember that some that are borderline may come in to play nicely as your PP work continues to improve.
It's just my opinion but I think tighter crop on #1 would work even better, nice look to this one.
#2 looks a bit underexposed to me and showing a bit of noise maybe, those reds are often flat without good light on them.
#3 precision focus with a very narrow DOF, love it!!
Great Set Birdie, the Wren made me smile, I have to agree with Karl on the Cardinal, but I know you will go out and keep working at it
#3 is Wonderful! love it!
Overall a great set and glad you are having fun

Really good stuff, Birdie.
Great perspectives and framing.
I'd prefer a bit more sharpening of the eyes and beak on the wren- but as you know, I'm a fussbudget on that .
