Snowy Robin

Grabbed in the car park at Kielder Water a few weeks back: the robins there are really bold, landing on your bonnet and wing mirrors within moments of parking up! Pity the left food was buried in the snow.

Its a shame you couldnt have managed a lower position-would have been a cracker then-excellent exposure

Dave

Very funny image:) I like that bit of snow on the beak.

Well done.

Its a nice image, snow on the bill adds humour, Robins and snow fit together so well, but a lower POV would have been nice.

Nice shot. Snow on beak good. Lower p.o.v. would be better I think.
But there is eyecontact.

I had the same thing a few weeks back, it just needed to be a little lower angle but otherwise it's a great shot of a bold subject !

Drew

A delightful image with good exposure. As suggested a lower pov would help, but I wouldn't fancy laying in the snow myself lol.

Nice one.

Fran

Same for me lower pov but still a lovely image nonetheless, maybe comp it with robin top right looking down into space might look nice?

Mark

Nit already mentioned but fab in every other context..

Brett

Many thanks for all the comments. I didn't fancy lying in the snow either
