A pleasing portrait Elizabeth. I'd be tempted to have a go at toning down the bright highlight below the birds beak. Saying that, I may be tempted but I'd probably make a hash of it and go back to as it was!!

Hi Elizabeth,

Lovely birds Robins and you've captured it well here. I never saw Mark One so can't compare but I agree with Robert about toning down the bright spot. Simple enough to do in Photoshop. Superb feather detail!

Yep Elizabeth, this is great. I really like the autumnal leaves :smile:

A nice autumn-like picture.

And bright spots are allways on the wrong place.

All Robins are stars and this one is no exception. Just that highlight to be darkened and it might stand a little more usm for me.

Nice low angle on this. I agree about toning down the leaf, then it will be a cracker!

It's the angle that makes this - like it a lot.

I always prefer eye level shots and this one works well too. The narrow DoF separates the bird without entirely losing the environment.
