Robin posing on a stick
Conditions: DULL so fill in flash was used to bring out a bit of colour.

A bit more dof & sharpness would of been nice, maybe next time when the light improves.

D2X - 600mm AF-S F4
ISO 320, F4, 1/40th sec
Using vehicle as a hide.

Thanks for looking :toast:

Must be some flash you've got to bring out this much saturated colour.

Starting the year off with a cracker Vince! You pointed out the only minor nit but even the lack of DOF doesn't spoil the image for me.

Beautiful shot. As you have so much room to play with, I would leave a bit more room on the right in your crop.

Very nice Robin.... as you have posted the original I actually prefer it that way, with just the tree trunk RHS cloned out......
