I never tire of photographing these – they almost seem to pose whenever you point a camera at them, and are such photogenic birds. This was taken during the spell that saw the South East grind to a halt for three days earlier this year.
All C&C welcomed.

Merry Christmas to you too !
The feet are a little near the bottom for me,, but otherwise spot on.

HO,HO,HO!! Cheap gag sorry Mike could'nt help it stunning detail in the Robin,a tad tight at the botton as mentioned by JR,love the snow and catchlight,very nice Christmas feel to it
Nice one as said a bit tight at the bottom, indeed for my taste more room all round would be nice... I feel that there is too much room above and not enough below but heck, muggins here didn't even get out the door during that spell so well done and a great sharp image...

I think the nits have been mentioned but a well thought out image and some good advantage taken of the inclement weather. Good detail on the bird and nice setting, some more work on the composition will see this as a very nice card image.

Hi Mike,
all the nits have been picked and I have to agree that a little smaller in the frame would be better. Still a very nice shot
