Think Susan the white vignette was to tone done the distracting background,think it works to a certain degree,but at the same time distracting,also the front robin is sharp while the back one is slightly soft,if this come again I would try to get more because there is a photo to be had in this...Brian

Brian,
Thanks a million for your complementary review on this pair of Robins in the garden, that I grabbed through my Patio door..all I could do was point the camera in their direction & keep clicking. With my Compact camera on auto settings.

yes, the huge bright area on the top distracts, try to clone it in order to make the bird pop up
nice focus and light handling
thanks for sharing

Comment from Sange
I like the dreamy effect your soft white vignette offers.
Very nice focus on the one in the foreground with fine colors, eye Clarity and nice feather details.
Nice work Susan ;)

Sandra,
Thanks a million for your complementary review on this pair of Robins on the bird table photo taken through the Patio door... literally a point & shoot shot with no time to do anything else.

Comment from Life is but a dream.
Looks pretty perfect to me. You have that one robin in the front in good sharp rendition and softness on the back one....nothing wrong with that.
I like that white vignette reminds me I ought to use it more often.
Looking good on this side of the planet Susan.

Olga,
Thanks a million for your great review on this literally point & shoot picture of this pair of Robins, through the Patio door with some reflection on the glass from inside... I just HAD to take these pictures this was the best of six. This pair have been together since lat year & did not separate in the Autumn each to defend it's own territory as is the norm with Robins. They rained 4 chicks to adults last year.

Comment from Sean T Phelan
Your photographic presentation of this pair of little Robins looks great as far as I'm concerned,Susan! : )
It's an endearing and gently amusing depiction of this obviously Mated Pair!
A 'Good Show' indeed,my friend!

Comment from Pamela Ruggiero
I am thinking that our robins will be back soon. I like seeing your chubby little ones. Wonder if any of their grown broods still live in the territory. Nice composition that is well framed. They are so cute together. Thank you for sharing and best of luck with this image

Pamela,
Thanks a million for your complementary review.
As soon as the Chicks become adults they are driven out of the territory by the parents to find their OWN territories to defend. Usually the Parents also separate after the breeding season to defend their separate territories but on this occasion this pair have stayed together!

Comment from Malmax
Susan I love the orange breasts on these robins. They look great together and even though you may think the overall photo is not the best, the subjects still look very clear with well defined characteristics.
Everything has to eat, and it looks like these two are enjoying themselves.

Marsha,
Thanks a million for your great review on this pair grabbed through my patio door with some reflections from inside visible because I know where they are but seeing this pair so close together I felt I had to post it.
Usually Our Robins live "separate" lives except in the breeding season guarding their territories & chasing off any intruders that dare to come it. This pair have "Broken" this rule & have remained a couple since last Spring raising four chicks last year!

Oh what a beautiful story.
You're most welcome!
Comment from PeglegDeb
Cute title Susan!
....and the sweetest little pair of Robins....I am anxiously awaiting the day Robins come back here. Your image of these two is quite nice....good color and exposure and impressive that they sat there long enough for you to get six shots. They must be very comfortable w/ you. Does Lady Juno bark at them? I mean if the feeder is even near the window? The birds around here have gotten used to Comanche lunging at the windows when they come to feed.
Anyway, a lovely sign of spring at your place. Nicely done.

Deborah,
Thanks a million for your complementary review on this pair of Robins seeming to be preparing to start nesting EARLY.
It was quiet mild today but is expected to get cold again over night. Dublin has avoided the worst of the winter so far with only a sprinkling of snow that only last hours while in the West & North schools were closed for a few days because of the roads.
Juno does not get excited at the small birds but will chase off Pigeons & Magpies if they come in close.

Pigeons and magpies....OMG Comanche would go nuts. You should see her when the Turkeys come strutting their stuff out here. Your Juno is much politer it sounds like...lol Very welcome for the review Susan.

Comment from alaskapat
I just love these Robins , do they eat seeds? The robins here never come to the feeders, this photo tells a story, of the two together which from your notes determines that they are a couple, it's an interesting capture, showing them together at your feeding table, focus is good on the closer robin I love the bright orange color!

Pat,
Thanks a million for your great review on this pair of Robins dining together...
They are Flycatchers (Your Robins are members of the Thrush Family related to our Thrushes & Blackbirds) They normally eat Earth Worms, Meal Worm, small flies,spiders & in winter berries & seeds.
If you are working in the garden especially if you are breaking the surface of the soil they will come very close to grab any worms grubs etc. you may uncover. On the Bird table they will eat the dried Meal Worms & shelled Sunflower seeds, Fat-balls & I've seen them pecking at berries in the hedge. Apparently there were attempts to introduce them to New York State & parts of New Zealand but this failed.
