Very nice. I'm not a fan of the square crop but it works very well here.

A very sleek looking robin you've got there, John. :cool: Looks ready for action.

Spot on, the square format works perfectly. A bit of glitter on the perch and you're sorted for cards next crimble :wink: :toast:

Hi John. The perch could be overwhelming here as it looks pretty substantial, but you're not showing much of it, so not a problem really.

Lovely light and tack sharp as usual :toast:

A bit of white washing powder (can you still get it?) on the log and that's your Christmas cards sorted then.

As pleasant a robin picture as you'll find .
A slight smattering of noise breakthrough in the blue channel in the background,but no biggy.

Thanks all.
The perch is not a set up by the way. This hide looks onto Hawthorn and bramble scrub and has various bits sticking out all over the place.
Mark- Whats a blue channel ? :smile:
Cheers
