Sitting at home today so as not to spread my germs around the office but this little fella has his territory clearly marked just outside the window..

You keep those germs well away from the rest of us.
Nice capture of a robin, but I think I might be inclined to trim a little more off the top of the frame.

He looks a bit fed-up to me, Brett. Probably reflecting the way you are feeling,
I second the crop, but still a very nice image. Hope you get better soon. I wonder if you will get any 'Man-flu' comments from any of our female photographers.
Cheers guys but I like it that way as it will make a good 'editorial style' for presentations.. The Robin collects all the dropped seed that lands in the hedge which is what he was doing here.. I have others as I'm sure you'd have guessed and since they are full frame I have options for cropping so take your comments on board
As for the Man-flu.. Well I never feel that sorry for myself, just simply get on with it and try not to spread it around..!! Thanks for the well wishes anyway..
At least someone has the sense to limit the spread of germs and you can always count on a robin to brighten your day, flu or not! Nice expression on the bird's face.

I like portraits where the whole bird is not on view, so this one is batting on an easy wicket with me, especially as it's a robin. As you say loads of crops available; I would go for lopping off those in-focus cut-off leaves to the right.

Nice pose, a bit different i like it. Maybe a tad lighter?
