Robin (Erithacus rubecula)
Taken from my hide, this pose was in response to another robin who dared to venture near to the feeder.

Techs, perch, BG, and IQ all look top notch...only one thing could have made this image better...and that is a better HA (oh, and perhaps a small crop at right to close the gap between perch and right edge of frame).
Pretty great shot, really like the perch and BG and it's sharp.
beautiful bird, i don't mind that the head is twisted back a bit in this case.
Hi Jonathan, your technique is excellent. Trying some more interesting perches can bring your images to a new level IMO.
Hi Jonathan,
Lovely sharp image. From your recent posts, it seems that re-siting your hide has really paid dividends. Well done!

For me this image is perfect . Techs, action , perch , BG . Awesome .
I agree, the challenge is finding different photogenic perches, I tried some hazel with catkins but the branch was too flexible, I will eventually find one suitable - then soon we will have buckthorn in blossom and ***** willow so I will be busy!!Originally Posted by Ofer Levy
I have just noticed some asterisks have appeared,:D and I have realised why - the word I think, is perhaps a little less acceptable in America but it is the correct English word:D:D (another word for a cat!!)
No offence is intended.:cool:
