Beautiful photo Rob. I've always had a soft spot for scarlet females. :biggrin:
Composition is terrific with a neat perch and the grasses pointing towards the subject. :toast:

Well done Rob, I love how the Robin just pops out of this beautiful setting - well seen, well captured.

I like the comp a great deal here Rob, those wispy grasses make the bird being smaller in the frame work really well here. :toast:

Nicely done, Rob. A bit surprising that the female is that colorful. Maybe a slight crop from top would be good, but the open comp works well for such a small bird.
