Lots of Robins this week. With the rain they are filling up on worms. This one looks very proud.

Very nice composition and image Sid. I like it a lot love the progressive decline angle of the perch. The backgroung is nice also. It compliments your subject very well. My onlr recommendation would be to clone out that triangular shadow on the bird's chest and also perhaps lighten the back feathers just a tad...:D

Hi Sid Remember light angle !!!! With the light from your back the shadow would not have been there and the back of the bird would have been lit !!!

I like the pose, perch and particularly the bg !!!! Would try to lighten the face and remove the shadow as suggested by Gus. Should be an easy fix !!!! btw you were going in the right direction with the compensation !!!
