Hi Chi,
You captured this little fellow in an interesting pose, he seems to have a "moustache" :)
It's the first time I see this kind of Robin and I like very much the color transitions on his plumage.
A well composed picture, with great sharpness and beautiful details.
TFS,
Toni.

Hello Chi,
Fantastic shot, very nice capture with a superb composition
Superb detail, and excellent bright colours. Very sharp and clear.
Thanks for posting

Hi Chi, this is an extremely sharp and well composed shot of this Robin. Your tight depth of field has very effectively removed him from the background.

Thanks, John

Hi Chi

What a colourful character we have here! Love the eye contact. Congrats on an awesome shot! TFS.

Hello Chi Liu,
So good to see you. Happy New Year of the Boar!
This Pekin Robin is a real beauty, and your capture of it is stunning. Great POV with excellent eye contact. The details are exquisitely sharp and well exposed. The colors are just breathtaking.

Hello Chi,
This is a very fine capture of Pekin Robin, a species that is a very popular cage bird.
But it nice to see a sharp and well-composed shot like this taken in the wild.
TFS and best wishes, Ivan

Hi Chi

What a jaw-dropping surprise to see a posting from you again MF. Welcome back and I hope we won't have to wait so long for the next one. You are a bit of a secretive hombre, but I hope you are well and that it was not due to illness that we have not heard from you for so long. True to form you had to re-appear with a stunner as this is an amazing capture of a very fine little bird, the beautiful Chinese nightingale. Who would be strong enough not to fall in love with that cute little face upon first sight?

The photo is great as the composition and POV are splendid with the direct eye contact from the bird. The colours are rich and the details are sharp and well defined. The OOF BG does well to make the robin stand out and the soft lighting was excellent.

Good work and TFS.
Regards
Loot

Hi Chi

This is a splendid capture from you and a very amazing one considerring the fact that you took it with a macro lens! By the way...how come you shot it with that one?...i know you have another zoom lens, too.
Anyway the picture is stunning and it captures the pose of the pekin robin wonderfully. The look and the eye-contact are terrific.
Also the colors are fantastic and the strong contrast on the plumage of the bird is excellent.
Very good POV and DOF - very shallow, that blurres what might have been a very distracting BG otherwise.
All-in-all a superb picture!

Bravo and TFS

Hi Chi.
How long time you are absent. However, you have returned with nice photo. Amazing bird and its glance. Colours of the bird and BG are wonderful too as well as diagonal composition of the shot, perfect POV and DOF. My compliments and best wishes.
