Hi Bev,
Congratulations on your 1st anniversary on TL, the first of many I hope.
The Robin is also my favourite of the small bird world, you have captured the colours well here and I like the position and pose of the Robin, the image does seems to lack sharpness though In My Opinion.
Regards Andy

Hello, Bev.

Now he's a nice fat little fellow. Well, I'm not sure if it's a boy or a girl - apparently even robins themselves have a bit of difficulty recognising who is what, if you know what I mean.

You were very lucky indeed managing to get a shot as sharp as this, taking it at 1/50 sec on a focal length of 300mm. I presume it was pretty dull, because your lens was fully open at f/5.6. Perhaps you could have upped the ISO a little - your Exif data doesn't tell me what that was. You must have a very steady hand; or, perhaps, you used a tripod.

Oh, I see you use Photoshop Elements 6 - I just bought myself a copy but haven't loaded it onto my computer yet. At the moment, I use PSE 2 - is version 6 a lot better?

Anyway, nice shot. Have a happy anniversary - you've done very well to put so many pictures on here (and TE) in such a short time.

Kind Regards,

John.

Well done Bev, you have come through with flying colours, nice capture of the Robin, he has puffed himself up in the cold, mind you it could be a girl they are both the same.

Thanks

Congratulations on your first year Bev. The bird does look a bit chilly, well composed with good colour and detail. I am so used to the red breasted robin and I was staggered to find out that there numerous colours in the robins down here in Tasmania. TFS,

Congratulations Bev! You joined TL just a few days before me! I think I can safely say we enjoy it here.

Lovely capture of this round ball of feathers to mark the occasion.
