Background looks as good as any set-up! Sure the perch is a bit boring, but you captured a fantastic pose. It's great that we can see both eyes. Details look great for IOS 20,000!

Hi Andreas, pretty good for photographing in the dark...:bg3: Wonderful pose, nice colors and feather detail, pure background. I noticed you listed a monopod with a gimbal. Wimberly makes a gimbal head for a monopod, I use it all the time and have even got Artie to try it. Thank you for sharing.

Clean image but looks a little bit flat to me. I like the pose.

Thanks folks for your comments , much appreciated .

@ Dorian ... funny you mentioned the BG being at a typical setup , not true as it was opposite to the set up ... and the set up is in a public park where i just place a perch somewhere where the birds are used of being fed by truck loads of people , every day . I just take advantage of it . So the birds can choose from food all over the place ... and this Robin chose the twig about 12 m away from the feeding site .

@ Jon ... i am ok with the " flat " appearance , not a mistake just a matter of taste . But for fun i will RP another version tonight .

Cheers Andreas
