I really like the inquisitive look on the birds face. The use of selective focus works well here. The bird from top to bottom looks sharp. The only distracting piece to me is the OOF area in the LLC.

I like the pose, angle, sharpness, perch and BG. The tilted head puts it in the cute department. :) I only wish we could see the tail a little.

Great pose, colors and sharpness. The OOF in the LLC has been mentioned. Then, to me the vertical streaks in the background are a bit distracting to me. Very cute! JR

I think it is a great capture. The lines in theBG don't bother me and actually add to the image. The OF LLC also is of no bother to me. I would like this image to be mine.

Ditto that. Wonderful. Not often we see Robin juveniles. Brings back good memories. Very well done.

In the ideal world the mosses would all be sharp including the LLC. However, the bird, its pose and sharpness and subdued lighting compensate for that greatly. SO well done Sergey. Lovely image mate. :)

What a wonderful perspective on this young fella. I agree about the OOF area in LLC, and I'm not really fond of the lighter streaks in the BG (perhaps if you changed the hue on those to match the rest) but the rest of the image more than compensates for that. I LOVE the reddish vegetation at right, overall very well done.

Head tilt, sharpness, nice eye details , green BG works for me

I like the pose, composition, and especially love the painterly feel of the background.
