American Robin

[Jim Crosswell]

I took this one last week in a local field. The BG is OOF trees in peak fall colours. The perch is rather plain but that is where the Robin landed.
All C&Cs are welcome and appreciated.

Great portrait! Nice pose and BG with excellent detail!

[Cheryl Flory]

great bg and pose. Can you selectively sharpen the eye and head more?

[Miguel Palaviccini]

Beautiful photo of the Robin. I agree with Cheryl and think a bit of selective sharpening would help.

A very pleasing BG and perch, A very nice photo of this common bird that is taken for granted.

Every bit as nice as the other image of this one, super clean shot and again the backdrop compliments the orange breast.....lovely image indeed.

We don't often see this type of portrait for robins...very nice! Great BG, good vertical comp, and nice details. I'd be tempted to lighten the whites on the chest and belly a bit, but quite an appealing image of this common beauty!
