Taken the other day at the feeder.

He is one hell of a poser, fair play lol.

Thanks for looking

Beauty-quite a difficult bird here

Nic eshot Vince. Looks quite flat and the colouring is jaded and I was going to suggest maybe adding a bit of contrast, but the perch is fine. Seems it's just a dull looking jaded Robin....not to it's mum of course

Nice pose and good detail as usual

a bit of head tilt so it has a more 45deg look at you would be good. 2D images don't work for me. Nice BG control though.

Very nice. The clean BG makes the robin stand out well.

Is there just a very, very slight colour cast. It looks to me like the green channel needs reducing just a little. Could be just my eyes though.

Nice perch too.

Nice.. a bit of a head turn would have been nice plus I agree that perhaps the bird needs a touch more contrast and there does appear to be a ever so slight cast, so I'm with Richard there...
