A recent portrait of a robin (many of them in this period)- I try again to post it since first time during uploading process the colours became dull and greysh (no idea about it)- I hope this time it'll be ok.
Nikon d90; nikkor 300mm f4; ISO 400; F5; 1/400; -0,66EV; tripod
Many thanks for looking

Nice balanced composition Fabio, sharp details.
The color and exposure look excellent, great BG too.
And that lichen adds good interest also..
Well done

Beautiful bird, Fabio.

Lovely colors and nice detail.

As much as I like the moss on the twig, I think it fights for attention and I would consider cropping it, and perhaps add just a bit of canvas to the right.

Nice capture.

Beautiful, Fabio. Excellent colors this time. I like the pose a lot. You might consider a vertical crop as you could put the whole perch in focus and make the bird larger in the frame, but this composition balances well as-is.

Nothing dull and greyish about this shot. I like it in part because it is green and everything here right now is pretty grey. And now for some better reasons as to why I like it.... The bird is set off well from a complimentary bg. I noticed some think the twig is competing for attention. I guess I have to agree, but I don't think it is in a bad way. I was going to suggest that if the rest of the twig could be sharpened I would do it. I think it gives one's eye more to enjoy. And although this composition breaks the rule about a bird looking off the picture in the direction of least amount of room - I think somehow that works here too. Well done.
