Had a bit of snow in the garden back in march 2006 went outside to get a picture of a Robin in the snow and this chap showed up instead, can't complain though.

I'd take a shot of one of these anyday, cuz they are rare in my parts over the "commun" Robin.
And what a great shot it is aswell.Really nice all over exposure and detail.Plus a pleasing perch to go with that great Bokeh'd BG.

(Bokeh'd BG) - a what??? is that from the lawrence lewelyn bowen book of photography?
lovely birds these, am a big fan. the snow adds to it very nicely.

Hi John,
Lovely exposure giving good detail in blacks and whites. Think you could probably up the saturation a bit to give that lovely crimson breast of his a bit more oommph. Would love to have one of these in the garden on the feeders.

Um Mark a simple little website called Google will give you the answer

Very very nice. Crisp as the weather obviously was.

Great in every way. Can't wait for the snow over here. I hope we get lots of it and have the chance to shoot birds like this.
Love it.

Lovely John. Great to get one in the open and with snow. I find these very shy.

Superb capture John
Just to be unconventional though, I'd have to say that it's a bit tight in the frame - a bit more room at the bottom and some more behind the tail would be nice

Nice, although I agree with Andy, and it's a pity the 'Bokeh'd background' shows no evidence of the snow!

Like it very much as is. I think more saturation would perhaps overcook it
