Robin

[Jonathan Ashton]

Taken from garden hide Canon 1DX Canon 500mm f4 Auto ISO 4000-0.3 1/1600 sec f7.1.
Shame about that wretched leaf but that's nature photography!

I like the pose you have capture on this Robin. I agree with you comment about the leaf. The image looks noise free for ISO 4000 as well.

I can tell from your latest series of images that you have been having fun! Interesting pose, nice BG. Face is sharp. If you have it I'd prefer more room at right and less below. If not and if the IQ withstand it, cropping some off the left and below would work.

Hi Jon, well timed for the perching pose, and just love the colour on the chest. Great work at ISO 4000. :w3

Jon. As a perpetual, devoted fan of your remarkable photographic skills, I regret to say that I don't view this as one of your best.

There are certainly good things about this image, as others have noted above. But as you have also written, that leaf is indeed wretched. And I am not thrilled by the other leaves. Perhaps Daniel's suggestions would work to make it better.
