Eastern Yellow Robin

Error 99 remains so here's one from last year. This species has the appealing habit of perching sideways on trunks.

1D2n 500/f4 1.4X
ISO 400 f/8 1/160

cheers

I really like the composition here with the pirch coming into the picture. Great pose and detail with great bg.

Very nice as usual Rob, nice perch, background, and detail in the bird. Another example of background colors matching the bird perfectly.

Super image Rob. Nice head turn but it's the composition and colors that impress me here. Hope you get your "error 99" resolved soon.

Really like the almost monotone feel to this image, Rob. As already mentioned, you always capture a very complimentary BG.

Wonderful shades of grey here set off by beautiful detail for the bird and perch along with lovely flashes of yellow, Rob. Nice work! Sorry to hear about the error code. I hate error codes.....and I don't think I'm alone. :smile: :toast:

I love how the colors all work together in this shot Rob. The birds pose it really great too. One of my recent favorites of yours for sure.

The Robin gave you a very lovely pose Rob, I find it very appealing. Love the eye contact, the subtle colors in the background and bird, details, sharpness and soft light. Very well done.

Lovely image. I really like that the full head turn allows for viewing of so much of this bird. Great detail and sharpness in the larger photo.

Rob, I love the gray branch and gray BG - perfect compliment to this little fellow. The yellow gives just enough color - very nice!
Fine detail and great pose.
