This robin is quick to get worms where we have been weeding or digging or anything that might stimulate worm availability. Been thinking what a homely bird all day, and then at the end of it, whilst doing an evening camera prowl, I found him in this wonderfully lit tree. The BW was a mistake, as my renovated computer needs to relearn my "save" habits, but I decided I preferred it to the kodak colours.
Crop, small tweaks, USM, scale and then the inadvertent greyscale.

This has a sort of innocent feel to it in b&w. :)

I actually like the B&W! Maybe the computer just knew it would look better? =)

I recognize the Robin so well that I don't even need to see it in color, I know right away. Interesting choice of b&w, almost looks like IR.

Didn't do anything beyond Basic Ed. I've wondered if that is a break in the leaves or an effect of the Irfanview USM.

REally like the composition here. Great detail on the feathers. I see a slight glow around the beak. Was that one of your tweaks to add definition to it?

Really, really nice in greyscale. Very nice light and composition, and he stands out perfectly. He looks a bit contemplative in his little bower.

Very pretty! I love the leafy background. Looks like the robin might be enjoying it too. :)
