    Default Red-capped Robin

    Starting to edit some files from late last year I never get around to doing. Red-capped Robins are quite common in the more arid regions and will often come in close out of curiosity and will often perch prominently particularly at breeding time.

    Canon 7D + 500 f4...f5, 1/250, ISO 640, +0.3 EV. no flash, tripod mounted, dull skies....basic edit, crop, selective sharpen and noise reduction

    Quite a handsome fellow. Nice pose, and his red areas show up nicely against the dull perch and bg. Looks like you didn't have much light to work with, so it would have been tough to get much more DOF.

    Fantastic looking bird, plump and healthy! The reds look great against the rest of the muted colours. Nice perch and BG. I'm OK with the DOF. Some of the whites are hot, perhaps revisiting the raw file would be worth it to tame those.

    Love the plump fluffy look and that gorgeous red.
    Looks great against the grey BG.
    Agree with Daniel re:hot area.
    I like it!

    A very prepossessing fellow indeed. He pops nicely from the BG.

    Yeah that BG is very clean and great to stand this little cute one off on. Love the colours and the sharp details.

    All the best over your way, very nicely done. Sure wish we had them.
