Hello Gert,
Very nice to have a neighbour with the same bird, but in totally different circumstances.
Very beautiful coloured and sharp-detailed photo in a great DOF, POV and composition.
Wish you also a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year,
Peter

Hello Gert,
Well done - this is a really lovely, snowy and chubby little Robin! I expect it's desperately looking for food under the snow hence the crystals on its beak.
TFS and have a lovely holiday! Ulla

Hi Gert,

Oh, the poor baby. He looks so cold and puffed up. He has a beak covered with snow! He does look beautiful in all of that snow with his lovely colors and adorable face. Wonderful details of the bird and the snow.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Hi Gert,
I just said to Peter: There's a great Robin-Epidemic today on TN ;-)
Yours is so cute and fluffy and so sharp, we can see ice-crystals - that's amazing.
Excellent shot my friend, thanks.
Merry Christmas to you and all the best for the New Year

Sencillamene maravillosa.
Una fantasía de colores bien contrastados y con un buen control de la luz. El encuadre es muy bueno y una buena captura del espacio y los volúmenes. Un gran trabajo.

hello Gert

Looks like your Tamron lens giving good quality at long end for this shot, showing nice sharpness and texture of the snow.

Very well captured by using the snow as a perfect backdrop to highlight the colorful detail of the bird. And I like the chin up pose. Most interesting is to see the tiny feet buried in the snow.

tfs, bill

Hello Gert,

What a cut and cold ROBIN you have taken here. Beautiful coloured and sharp-detailed. Take for instance the snow on here beak. Marvelous. It seems to be that you have the same interest just like NICHOLAS. This bird is also a favorite from him.

Well done. Have a nice Christmas and Happy New Year.

Regards and TFS BOB

Hello Gert,
a wonderful presentation in crisp and clear details and wonderful subtle contrasting colours in a marvellous soft sunlight. I love those incredibly rich, soft and tender shades of white in the snow around the fluffily feathered cute little robin with the "twinkle in the eye". Your picture is a very nice, heart warming gift in these winter days.
Thank you so much, and all my best wishes to you and your family for a Merry Cristmas and a Happy New Year!
Peter

Hi Gert.
Little robin looks on a snow really great. Especially if to consider how well the snow is displayed perfectly. Snow surface, snow waves, its details and exposure are amazing. The image of the charming bird is superb too. And flash in the bird eye is very attractive. My best wishes and TFS, Superb job, as usual.
