If all else fails, post a Robin
Not sure about my composition here. I trimmed the frame so that the bird was on the left looking back into the shot. Does that work OK?
I had hoped to get more frost in the picture, but at least it threw a bit of extra light up at the bird.

400D 100-400 @ 400
iso 800 1/125 f/5.6
minimal cropping for comp,
C&C welcome

Comp is spot on and you have done it right(looking right = have the space on the right).

A great shot of my fave bird.Cracking BG aswell.

Love it :toast: :toast:

Love the background colour, the robin is pin charp and a nice light on it too.Shame the criters did not turn his head a touch more to the right....But there is always something...
Best wishes

Like the shot Eric, but i think I would just like to lose the OOF stub in the foreground which is just hiding the Robin's foot. That would make it into a Great shot for me :toast:
