[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Hello Everyone,

Today I am posting a shot of my very favourite garden bird, the robin.

This particular one was bobbing around in the garden, sometimes looking for food, and sometimes singing a very melodious territorial refain. (For more information about robins, please see my previous postings.)

There is a lot of activity in the trees around my house at the moment. Many different bird songs and much coming-and-going. Obviously, spring is in the air for the bird population. The trees are high and quite 'twiggy' so it is very difficult to get shots unless I can coax them down or, I am very lucky!

Many thanks for your stopping by.
Please feel free to offer feedback on any aspect of the photograph. :-)

Talk about indecision! This is fantastic - wonderful pose, and the indecision is so clear and I love the title! Nice sharpness and I love the colors on this fellow - also the pose also indicates that he's thinking: what do I do? What do I do? :)

Hello Bev,
Nicely captured of this beautiful Robin!
the exposure and focus is good with great sharpness, natural colour and details in the shot!
well done
have a wonderful weekend!

Hi Beverley,
Wonderful shot of this cute Robin with such lovely colours and details on its plumage. Nice pose you have captured and the lighting and exposure levels are perfectly handled. Excellent POV and very nicely composed. Kudos.

Hi Beverley.
Nice picture of familiar robin. You have reflected it brilliantly. All, even tiny, details are reproduced with top exactness. I like its charming pose and posture of the wings. DOF is selected very well and image of pictorial ground is very nice too. My best wishes and congratulations on IWD.

Hello Beverley,
It's such a cute little bird and I heard our little one singing for the first time this morning - a very pretty song! I like the typical pose and the way it is holding its wings here. Beautiful colours too.
Many thanks, Ulla
