What do you think of this one from last winter? I only just got round to processing it. These guys can be so tame i almost feel it doesn't count as real nature photography!
Its very nice.. perhaps a touch tight, and not on a natural perch but thats how Robins are often seen.... only minor nits are a bit more room for the bird and a lower viewpoint.

Its a cute shot Daniel!!
Not an ideal angle for me either, and as these birds offer you many options in return for a free feed, ive no dought you will soon build up a large variety of robin images.
Nice one

Thanks for the advice both of you, I'm still very much a beginner, so these sort of pointers are incredibly helpful.
A beautiful little bird and always a pleasure to see, and photograph, no matter how approachable they may be.
A cute pose.
An eye level viewpoint would have possibly worked well here.

Again i agree with the other, lower angle, but nice shot, the D50 is great for these with small lenses, means you can easily carry it about and get the image :)

Agree a lower view point would have improved the image and maybe given you a better BG - but a great pose with good detail!
