This is a real pleasure to view because I feel like I'm picking in to this birds private little area and getting a peek. She's adorable. Almost perfect circle! Everything is beautifully focused and the composition is lovely. I would give this a 6 if I had any left.

Very nice closeup of the robin. Good focus so that the details and feathers are very visible. Nice catchlight in the eye. I would get rid of the two white spots just at the end of the beak, they are very distracting. That would also allow you to brighten this just a little. Good color. Nice composition.

What a cute little chubby fella ! Nice looking shot! You have framed it well. The light and shadows, colours and the composition have worked out well. Good effort!

Fantabulous up close and very personal!
Great subject placement in the frame.
A cute & candid capture!!
Subdued illumination. Sharply focused. Fine facial & smooth plumage textures.

Nice perspective & narrow DOF.

Thanks for sharing...

What a beautiful bird. You captured it in a excellent spot. The bird stands nicely out from the background and nothing what could distract is in front. The photo has good exposure. Light and colors are realistic. The placement of the bird on the twig is eye pleasing. The refinement of detail is of body and plumage is impressive. The photo is well framed. The composition is balanced.

Very nice picture of this bird on the Branch. The picture is clear and the focus is good. I like that it's up close, which puts more emphasis on the bird. I think it could use a little more brightening, but still very good. Good luck to you.

I can't get over how cute your little robins are. This is a great close view of the sweet face with very nice detail of the feathers and the colors. I think the puffed up pose is adorable. I would remove the hot spot on the protruding branch to the left of his face, or remove that branch altogether and frame this one.

Another beautiful robin that is posing nicely for his close up. The detail in the plumage is excellent and the colors are fantastic. I like the profile and don't mind that his tail is clipped.
