Nice photo, John. As a birder, I’d like more info on where and when taken, specific kind of robin, etc. As a photographer, I’d like to know how you managed such a nice pose!

A very nice shot. Perfect focus. The color cast works in the image’s favour. I would love to know wehether its an artificial background or one with a heavy dose of gaussian blur.
Courtney Platt

Very nice shot indeed. All the subject is in perfect focus. The colors blend really well too even though I think they are a little saturated but they really make a good effect.

A lovely shot, and a candidate for a greetings card company I would say.

Beautiful photo. Everything is perfect – the clarity, colours and pose. It almost feels as if I can put my hand to the screen and touch him. Lovely! – JR

Great work, the detail is flawless.

I was asking the same question planet lover..the bird does not look real at all to me either, but who knows but John
Sue Gagnon
Lovely, detailed and honest shot. Beautiful.

As I tell the kids at the local nature center about our Snowy Owl mount, yes, he’s a real bird, but he’s a really DEAD bird! One of my favorite postcards is a photo of a very dead, very old, very dilapidated stuffed meadowlark–bought it at a gas station in Iowa several years ago. Even I have taken better meadowlark photos!
Whether this bird is still singing…John may never tell.

Nice picture but instantly i thought this bird looks like it is stuffed. Especially with the blurred background and perfect lighting. Almost too good to be true, but if it is, then you have done a perfect job
Ellie
Perfect, just perfect, you should be very proud of yourself. Way to go.

this looks a natural shot, robins are very friendly birds and will soon take worms from your hand. Congrats
