Hi Chris, coming up to that time of the year, is that a bit of frost on the top of that mossy rock, the bird itself looks good in that nice relaxed pose and sitting on a good b/g,very nice.

Chris:

The colors play well here, excellent pose with feet clearly visible and slight angle towards us.

I could see a version with just a sliver of the free space cropped from the top.

Cheers

Lovely light on the Robin, and the color of the bg works nicely. I was going to say maybe just a sliver off the bottom -- so maybe a pano with a little off bottom and top??? Or maybe leave it alone; it's very nice.

Very nice Chris.
I like the light and the BG color.
It is funny how we all have our favorite comps.
I would take a bit off the top an RHS!

Outstanding IQ, Christopher. Love the Robin's leg and body position. Might take a bit off top and bottom of frame.

Your Robins are so different from ours in the USA.....
Much prettier, The IQ is really nice, the rock perch is different and looks great.
Nice work.....
