Great capture, Susan, showing this beautiful little Robin singing his heart out as he perches among the twigs and branches - you can imagine the lovely sound he makes. Thank you for your interesting notes accompanying this. Excellent lighting and focus showing a nice clear image. Good luck in the contest. Suzanne

This is such a cute little robin. She looks like she is singing her little heart out. Your focus, framing, and lighting are all good. Well done and thanks for sharing. :)

Thanks a million for your complementary review on this (I think it's a male) Robin serenading his mate from the Whitebeam Tree in the Park. I hear him singing in that tree or the one beside it almost every afternoon as the sun starts to set.

Comment from Dick Lee Shia
Poetic & informative info notes!
Is that a title of a poem--giving emphasis on the word EVERYDAY?!?
Impressive capture!
An interesting initial impact.
How I'd wished it was zoomed in to feel the great thrill of catching him singing his heart out! ;-)
Nice perspective & narrow DOF.
Thanks for sharing...

Dickson,
Thanks a million for your complementary review on this singing Robin that I've heard singing near or in the same spot every day for the last two weeks. I was standing about 30 feet away when I took this I zoomed in as close as my camera allowed & cropped about 50% of the picture...If I'd cropped any closer the focus would be blurred & soft..
Sometimes in my own garden I can get withing six feet of a Robin but not in the Park.THANKS TOO for the SIX star rating.
Susan
Comment from avmurray
The beak is really wide open, and I can almost hear it singing. All the branches and the foliage is framing the bird in such a nice and natural way, and the bird is also standing out well against the background.
The photo is all over sharp showing fine details both in the bird and the tree, and the exposure is perfect.
Personally I would have cropped the photo tighter, but perhaps in this case this was not possible because of the distance. It is anyway a truly lovely and well taken photo Susan, and it reminds me of spring.

Annie,
Thanks a million for your complementary review on the Robin in full song...I've heard it singing in the same tree or the one next to it for about a week now. I cropped about 50% of the picture but could not crop any closer without loosing sharpness.

Comment from willie
This is a pretty bird. I have never seen one in person but have seen a lot of them on this web site. The robin we have here in the U.S. Is a bigger bird and the breast is a darker brown. For those that don't know any better say they are a sign of spring. They are hear all year.
Something you may want to try when weather permits get as close to this area as you can and put up a sheet or a tarpaulin cut a hole in it where you can see and shoot your pictures there. I have done this but now I use a hunting blind. It serves the same purpose. It will have to be there a few days so the birds will get used to it being there. I promise you will be amazed at the difference it makes. If you get close enough you can see their eye. Look at my portfolio and you will see some examples.

Willie,
Thanks a million for this great review on this little European Robin ~ Erithacus rubecula an Old World Flycatcher & apart from the breeding season are usually VERY territorial chasing off any other Robin who invades their Territory....I Don't think the Pilgrim Fathers brought the Robin with them on the "Mayflower"...later the Settlers seeing a Bird with a Red Breast, though larger & Thrush like called it a Robin..... Your American Robin ~ Turdus migratorius, Our Blackbird ~Turdus merula.Our Song Thrush~ Turdus philomelos.
I've seen your Robin on my visits to Detroit, Berkley, San Diego, Rochester NY & Washington DC. There move & behave just the same as our Blackbirds & Thrushes. Our Robins stay around all year.

Comment from Linda Engel
She is singing ."It's ROBIN time." So cool that you captured her singing. I love the pretty burst of orange among the branches of the tree. It lets us know Spring is in the air. Very clear, sharp lighting with clear focus. Good placement and cropping. A very sweet picture and thank you for sharing.

Comment from Envision
This is a cute capture. He looks like he is singing his little heart out. Really bellowing away. His colors stand out nicely and are enhanced by the sunlight.
