American Robin.
Hanging out among some beautiful fruit-bearing trees' branches. I was thrilled when this individual was perched low! The BG was ugly at first, but moving two steps to my left changed everything for the better.
Canon 7DII + 500mm f/4 II + 1.4TC III, manual exposure, evaluative metering, 1/800s., f/5.6, ISO 1600, natural light, handheld, FF.
Nice view of this robin. Love the perch and the background. Great details.
Beautiful shot with perfect exposure,lovely colours and settings.
sweet shot Daniel, nice pose and close up details, I'd lose the 2nd OOF branch though (would keep it if it were in focus)

Hi Daniel. Lovely looking Robin in natural surroundings. I also like the detail you've captured on the bird and the background colour. I also would remove the branch on the right and re crop.
Thanks guys. I love that branch though!
Good choice on moving a couple of steps - that BG is beautiful!. Great bird and a lovely little head turn really helps. Its a pretty big change to the shot, but I have to agree with Arash about thinking about losing the right hand branch.

Really nice Daniel. I still do not have a Robin photo I am happy with. Always shooting something else. To me this is pretty much perfect as is and I think the other branch balances the compostion nicely. I think if it were in focus it would compete too much with the bird.
Beautiful as noted by all above. Looks like a "Cadieux!"

S'wonderful Dan, IQ, colors, and the fruit, well done.
I echo everything that the other commenters have said. I'm conflicted about the second branch! Half of me says "lose it" and the other half demands to keep it in. Either way, a terrific shot of a bird in his natural setting.
Beautiful capture, Daniel. Great perch, and an exceptional background.
