Interesting white eye brow, our robins up here don't have that. Love the BG and the perch

Great shot. Nice detail and the exposure looks to be spot on. This one seems to have a really strong eye ring. That look suggests he might have seen his reflection in your lens :wink: I've had two attacking neighbors windows over the past week. They can't seem to figure out that it is a reflection. :toast:

This Robin is really giving you the look Howard. Good image quality and that background really works with the Robin.

Quite the balancing act you caught here Howard. Love the inquisitive look. Very sharp and beautiful soft light.

The eye contact makes the shot for me Howard. I wasn't sure about the squarish crop but I can't find a better alternative here. :toast:
