A Robin guards the nest

I LOVE the colors here with the stormy clouds and the colors of the male Robin.. The sharpness and clarity are terrific as is the exposure;) The only thing that I would change is to crop it just a little more so that there isn't so much space in front of the Robin BUT.. I kinda like it this way.. he looks like he IS standing guard:) Great work, my Sweet Friend... thank you for sharing it with us!

Nice picture, I like the eye, captured very good, seeing the bird switched on and focus. Like the smudge right bottom corner and the sky, make the bird outstanding.Good Lightning and contrast, thank you sharing.

Comment from Regina E.H-Ariel


Beautiful capture - nice adjustments - looks like HDR tone mapping, excellent angle and perspective - I love his face expression as this shows that he really is self confident and strong in character

great light effects - your tone mapping brought all color nucnaces that are normally hidden perfectly out and fit exactly to this tiny being - your presentation is strong an beautiful thanks for sharing

    Thanks so much Regina! I was lucky with this one...except for the clouds I didn't have to do too much with this! I did do a little dodge as was suggested around his eye! Some brightening! Thanks so much for the very kind words and rating my friend=) Have a wonderful night! Lili

Nice unique picture. Is the sky real? If it is, I'd say you lucked out. Great detail, super sharp focus and nice composition. Very nice indeed. Cheers, JR

Comment from dodgement


The most important focus point is the eye, In this it looks in good focus but a little dark. If you have photoshop, I would dodge over his head to lighten it. You have a bright distraction that takes my eye to the bottom left corner. You could tone this down by burning.The framing is top notch.

    By the way, That guy that gave you a low mark is a standard member. They always give silly marks. To stop them, Put No in the bottom box when you post a picture. I thought his review was flaky and unhelpful.

    Where do you put the no? I was really kind of upset by it so thanks so much! I feel a little better about it now! I noticed he posts no work since 2009 so I don't understand why he would be on here! What happens if I mute him on his page will that stop him? I understand not everything is going to get a great rating and Helpful tips are great but I thought that was kind of extreme! Thanks for the kind comments and your help my friend! Have a great night!

    You could mute him, But you only get three mutes. I would save them for members who have not a clue, Usually new members. When you post a picture and you put in nature for birds and then the watermark box, The last box underneath put no in it,

This looks like a combination of a painting (clouds & sky) merged with a photograph of the bird. Very unique looking piece of work.

I like it.

You caught him in a stance looking ready to attack. The clouds set the scene much better than a blue sky.

The whole thing is well done and in focus!!

Love it!!

Very good. The focus is good and the colors are nice. The detail on the photo is good to. I love how the blue sky and the clouds really make the bird stand out.
