A wonderful photo of this inquisitive-looking robin. The colors are lovely both in the bird and flowers.
The image is sharp and well-composed.
A totally delightful scene!

This is gorgeous. the bird is framed perfectly. the colors and tones all fit together and make the piece cohesive and pleasing to the eye. the red and pink flowers bring out the orange breast of the robin and really make all the focus on him and his beauty

Oh one of my favourite birds here in the UK Susan, beautifully captured next to the budding fuschias, making for a colourful image. I've just been working on a robin for an upcoming art contest actually, they really are delightful and you've caught some lovely details and his curious expression here.

Hi Susan,
What a wonderful shot of this dear little robin!
I love the way he's turned to look at you, the way you've framed him between the fuchsia flowers and the overall composition.
Focus is spot on as is the exposure. Nice one!
Charlotte

Hi Susan.. Why? Because I can't help but stare at a beautiful bird photographed so elegantly in such a warm and inviting setting.

The shape and body proportions are so similar to our Robin I sometimes think I am looking at one of our Robins who just happened to put on a different suit of feathers.

This is an excellent shot. The camera settings are perfect as is the framing.

Susan I do believe this is one of your finest pieces, thanks for sharing... Bob

    Thanks a million for your complementary review on this Robin one of my favorite garden birds. They have attitude & are very feisty...the will chase all outer Robins out of it's territory except during the breeding season.

The colors remind me of Christmas. This looks like a bird caught in the act of peeking on Santa. The bird is beautiful and the Fushias add just the right pop of color
