Sign of spring?

Nothing outstanding, but I liked the robin setting on the wood fence with the blooming tree branch behind it.

Nice photo John,
I like the bokeh, the branch does a nice job of framing the robin. The textures and colors almost look like an art photo.
Nice job,
Brian

John,

all over I find the image pretty nice, like the pose of the robin and the clean background. I do also like the branch at the background. From composition point of view I may have tried a less centered placement of the bird, more to the left, which may have eliminated that "negative space" at that area as well.

Technically the exposure is fine, although I feel it is a bit soft.

My only quibble is with the composition; if you gave the Robin more virtual room to look in to on the right, it would be a strong photo,; centering the subject rarely works. And the framing effect from the branch might be improved.
