Robin (Erithacus Rubecula)
I had a few hours to kill whilst my car was being seviced, I found a field behind the local church. It was pretty cold but I managed several shots or robins and Stonechats.

Hi Jon ... a well worth time " killing " of yours !!!
Lovely subject in gorgeous winter light , love the frosty wire to tell the cold story .
Super pose and i do like the OOF stuff as well to break the BG uniformity ... I do even like the winter blues. Lovely fine details in the subject .
Might be just me ... but I do not understand the composition with the subject low in the frame und the given boxy crop .
Nicely done

The crop was so becasue firstly I don't always want to be predictable or conventional, secondly the image ratio is 4:3 and thirdly there was anothe length of barbed wire above the subject which I decided I would eliminate, I nearly included it but it was at angle so I decided it was a distraction.
Interesting thoughts .... for whom do you want to be NOT predictable ? Who says you have to stay in 4:3 , like you do most of the times . Since your move to that system you seem to like the ratio better than the classy 3:2 ! ? Understand the wire removal ....
Cheers Andreas
Very nice Jon. Love the frosted barbed wire. Lovely detail on the bird. Good pose and HA. Lovely BG colours.

Not necessarily a preference it's just that the native format is 4:3 so cropping to 3:2 as opposed to a smaller 4:3 means I am losing more pixels that's all. I don't have any real preference.Originally Posted by Andreas Liedmann

Ok Jon ... thanks for the answer
Nice pose, background and and frosted wire. Not a fan of the OOF stuff on the right.
