Hi Jon .. this a somehow tough one for me , due to the awkward pose . But I kinda like it ...
Nice overall IQ with lovely fine details rendered . Apart from the blues I do like overall colors .
Just think it is too tight at the top , and too much on RHS ... maybe you can crop it to vertical .

Very nice. I have not see that pose anywhere. Maybe a boxy or square crop.

with love, artie

Thanks Andreas & Artie, I will have a look at recomposition, here I was going along with the rule of thirds as a guide.

Certainly an odd pose, but showing foraging intent.
Framing might be theoretically correct but doesn't quite work, bird could be lowered and moved right IMO.
Well exposed and interesting perch. Keep the moss watered so it looks alive!

The pose is interesting with one raised wing and one raised foot. I like it.
I'd crop from the right and add some to the top.
I'd also add a touch more contrast to just the raised wing.

Hi Jon, the colours look good, likewise the pose and the PP for a file from the OM system does look good at ISO5000, but as an image, it's not grabbing me.

It's just way too tight, perhaps going wider and encompassing more habitat that the Robin is forging in, rather than this bulbous hint of the log?
