Another robin taken at the weekend - I like the backlighting around the bird, but am not sure about the yellow blob!

Lovely detail Oscar but for me the yellow blob detracts from the image. Sorry.

Very nice image, Oscar. Lovely pose and great detail. I like the yellow blob as well. :smile:

If you could have got the yellow blob behind the bird, that could possibly have been something really special. However, I think with that backlighting it is a great shot just as it is.

Very nicely placed in the frame,I think David makes a good point about yellow arround bird, The backlighting is very nice and quite soft. :toast:

Very nice indeed Oscar. I agree with Jules that the 'blob' does indeed look mlike a wintery sun and I feel it actually enhances the image rather than detracts from it.

Great shot Oscar.
Is that Ann Widdicombe in the background?

Thanks guys :smile:
The yellow blob is sadly not, as much as I would like it to be, the winter sun.....it is a yellow leaf :biggrin:
