I created this image a couple of weeks ago in the patio dining area of a garden centre's cafe (Sussex County, England). The basic profile of this thrush species immediately reminded me of our thrushes including the American Robin.
Canon 40D, Sigma 50-500mm at 266mm, F 6.3, ISO 400, 1/250 sec Handheld. Full frame image.
I suppose that I could have cloned out the OOF green weed & flower. Also I know that a lower angle would have been preferable but I was already getting stares from the other Cafe patrons so I didn't think that I should start laying on the patio stones. :D
I've just noticed that I've got some re-sizing artifacts so I'll likely re-post this since the current image is only 88K in size.
