Excellent capture through glass Mike!
Sharp focus and superb eye clarity with bonus catch light.
All the things I look for in bird photography are here.
Find work!
Gorgeous captured pose with great details and colors.
Well done! :)

Comment from Ronnie McClune


Nice work, excellent detail and story telling - he's checking up on things before getting 'stuck in' to his meal. Focus is excellent considering the shot is taken through the window. Well done - Ronnie

I wish I had a 6 for you as this is very well done. The focus is excellent with sharpness on the bird and beautiful softness to the background. Colors are natural and not over saturated. Composition is lovely. The pop of green in the background adds visual interest.

A quite grand robin shot posted here! Your central composition which seems to have disturbed his feeding does a good job of giving us a fine look at the scene. The image benefits from fine exposure and is sharp. Well done, nice shot!

I did not realize that your robins are symbols of Christmas. So much nicer than the stuff we are bombarded with. A beautiful bird in bit of an unfortunate setting. I would suggest that you try using a smaller feeder and positioning a perch nearby. The birds will get used to this setup right away.

This is a beautiful image! Very nice detail and color saturation. Great pose of the bird; I like his stance and the way you framed it.

Comment from FBI GUY


Sharp focus and tight crop is amazing. I have never heard of a 20-1200 lens. That is a huge lens. The lighting and the pose are perfect. We have snow and we are willing to share any or all of it.
