Taken in Costa Rica. Nikon D3, 500mm f.4 AF

Nice find and the berry in the robin's mouth adds to it. I find the bird too centered and it looks a bit soft on my monitor.

filemon -
i remember this species and they aren't easy to photograph
i agree with Axel's comments - but your problem with recropping will be that the bird is facing to the right where there should be more space and the more interesting berries/BG is to the left - this may be your best compromise
you might find the posts in Eager to Learn and Workflow Techniques on how to sharpen for the web helpful
