Jan,
Great shot, great pose.
I would try to see if you can tone down the whites on the tail...TFS.

[Scott Frye]

Colors blends nicely and I like that upright tail -- bird looks good

[Sid Garige]

Very complementing background for the subject. Great details.

[Arthur Morris]

Killer bird and pose. You did well with the slight side-lighting. I am sort of surprised that nobody suggested getting flat on the ground; that would have eliminated lots of the distracting stuff on the ground (but possibly made the fat piece of whatever in front of the bird more more prominent...)

[Joe Senzatimore]

Beautiful details in the subject and the BG offsets it very well. Fine image all around.

[Simon Bennett]

I like the alert pose and detail you've captured Jan.

[Ignacio Yufera]

Finally, a Scrub Robin! You don't see enough shots of these birds. You caught an excellent, characteristic pose in very nice light and open ground.
