Robin at pool. Bit early for Christmas but never mind !!

At my drinking pool.
The good thing about using a pool is that you can get the stuff going in or out.

A nice image as posted - good perch and composition.

I've always liked your Robin and would enjoy having them around as part of everyday life.

I've been waiting for your Robin images!
These guys are just beautiful, and I sure wish we had some on this side of "the pond."
Great pose, fine detail, and love the colours and perch.
Very fine image!

What a cute little fella! I find him better looking than the robins here in North America, but that's just my opinion. He chose a great perch, and gave a great pose to go with it! The colours are quite nice as well. If this were mine, I'd include a bit more room on the bottom and left.

Thanks all.
I suppose we take these birds for granted- and of cvourse they get hammered a little media wise at Christmas time.!
jenaya- yes- I agree re the framing. It was the bottom edge of the shot and I tried to add a little canvas but did,nt work very well !

Although I'm not a fan of centered images, it really works well here. A very nice Robin image. Nice detail, head turn, and perch.
