This precious little bird is placed very well in this frame, with equal space all around and sharp in contrast to the background. I love this picture! Great job and good luck!

So cute. The angle of the shot of this cute colorful Lil bird is great. The capture of the light is great. The clarity is great. The image is balanced and eye appealing to the viewer. Good eye and great job overall

Comment from Renate-Bertodi
you are going to be surprised at the reason I inspected this photograph. The look this robin is giving out. I wonder if they can see very well. Now please don't laugh, when my mum got to over ninety years old, she used to peer like that, exactly like that. It made me wonder. If we have poor eyesight, mine has got very bad since I hit 70 and over, why shouldn't birds have bad eyesight. Robin here is peering! However, he is probably young? How can we tell, do his feathers go tatty in age. I am sure you know the answers to all of these questions from a rank amateur of wild life.

Renate,
Thanks a million for your interesting review on this Robin watchinf out for it's mate on the Upper Feeder while other birds were on the lower feeder that this Robin feeds from. Their sight is very sharp. They as a rule only live two or three years. You've probably guessed I love them!

ah, and he has spotted something over there. Now what is it. I have to tell you about mum's peering stare.One occasion I went round, son and I went daily, one or the other of us, she told me- you know that carer, I watched her and she got out my cream from the fridge and licked her fingers eating it. There was a mirror over the room, on the wall, possibly 20 ft or more away!! I am much the same, once in India, these two young Sikhs at a travel agency were trying to persuade me to go on a trip. I am not a trip person and prefer to go when I want, how I want and refused. They were SOOOOOOOOO nice to me. However, as I went out, I saw them pulling faces at my back in the glass door. I might have been tempted to go on one of their trips but decided not to. Me peering like your robin. They are lovely!! How can you tell when they are on the other side of their lifecycle? or maybe you just can't!

I love the colors!
Your shot is nice and clear and great eye catch that shows off that inquisitive look.

Beautiful portrait! Your robin;s reddish orange breast against the pale brown sapling,and,too, the others behind her, is well done. The green background is good contrast.
Cordially,

With leaf buds soon to burst open.

This must be one of their favorite places to be! This is a nice sharp image of the cute little robin. His colors look very nice and you captured good light in the eye.

Pat,

We are lucky that our Robins stay around all year.
Unless you believe the myth that the females go south to Spain for the Winter....for warm sunshine.

Comment from GaliaG
nice bird, but the branch in front of her distracts, you should have moved a bit to the left or the right so it will not look like the branch is growing from her body
thanks for sharing
