Went on a photographic ramble through the local woods and around the lake hoping to find something interesting - some long-tailed tits, or gold finches, or perhaps a tree creeper. But no, not today. Did find this little fellow, though, and I can't complain, because whilst the robin may be pretty ubiquitous, it always cheers me!

Lovely shot! Great detail and I love how he's nestled in between the two barbs.

This is a really well done shot. Its so hard to get birds in such nicely framed scenery.

Beautiful image; this is very different from the North American Robin. Perfect rule of thirds composition.

Great composition and detail! Much cuter than the American Robin (don't tell them I said so).

The barbed wire adds a lot to the image, makes it much more than just another Robin.

He really stands out against the background. Nice and sharp too. Just an excellent image overall.

This robin looks very tiny compared to the ones that I see here in Florida. I like the close up look of this shot, and the wire is a nice perch, as it gives a good sense of scale to the birds size. The blue and totally blurred BG is right for this too.

Well... I love robins! :)
Excellent photo! The lines are great and the focus is perfect on the cute little fellow! You can see detail in the feet, fence and feathers. You even got the catch lights in his eyes! The background is simple and completes the photo beautifully!

Nice work. It's a great shot. I love the composition you've got here. The orange-brown colours at the top then changing to blue are great.

I like the composition very much showing a frame (the fence and the branch) within the framed image. Of course, our little handsome fellow really makes the shot. Love the colors and the feel of this gem.
