I couldn't resist posting this one. A male American Robin was resting on some mud by the side of a creek at the Sackville Waterfowl Park. I was walking back to the car and happened to see him out of the corner of my eye. I stopped and then realised I had to back up to obtain minimum focus. He did not react at all to me stopping although I was very careful not to disturb him. Here is a portrait of this great bird created with my 500mm macro lens.
I didn't do much else but crop and run the standard processing.
