Misty Morning Robin

Taken on a cold misty day at my local nature reserve.
I saw about half a dozen of these birds that morning and this one sat quite close & still just long enough for his photo taking.

Any comments welcome

That's quite a nice Robin shot, Lea and slightly different from the norm.Perhaps a little better balanced with the bird more to the left but it looks like that will bring in some veg on the right.
Good stuff.

Thanks John. you are right about the crop but yes there would be veg in the shot. I think this may be the lesser of two evils

lee, i think the fence works quite well and although the purists might say 'no manmade stuff' i think it is important to note that these birds live amongst us and so spend more time on our stuff than the natural kind so nice blur on the fence, although the background is too light in my opinion.

Very good image although I might clone out the bit of yellow leaf

All the best

Ian Hay

Thanks for the comments.

Really like this Lee, the pale fence tones well with the misty background and the line of it really takes you in to the robin. Would agree with Ian that I'd probably clone out the vegetation
