Nice shot Vincent - love the perch too :smile:

For me personally I would like a bit of space on the left for him to be 'looking into' - but that's just my personal pref.

Regards

Andy

Yet another of your excellent perch/background passerine setups.

Nice stuff as ever.

Hi Vince,

Like Andy I would like a bit of space in the pic but the colours, sharpness and pose are all top notch.

I really like the bright colours in this one, and the robins pose.

It's a very nice composition. :toast:

Hi Vince

Yep, another one of your top class bird shots. Super detail and what a great pose. I like the proportions of the bird in the frame for this shot. :toast:

Interesting background colour....have you been painting bits of Gloucestershire pink in your spare time......

cheers

I think the bird and perch are stunning with excellent detail and lovely bright,but natural, looking colours.
Only thing I'm not entirelly keen on is the background colour,but I'm sure this wouldn't be an awful lot of effort to slightly change the hue,although perhaps this is an accurate rendition of how you remember it,just personal preference really,as opposed to a criticism.
Still a very attractive shot of a beautiful species. :toast:

Great pose and perch, Vincent. The BG colour is a bit too strange though!
