Hi Richard,

Yes finaly spring did arrive, id did also overhere in the Netherlands.
Wake up call from so many birds singing their song is a wonderful thing to hear every morning.
I'm as happy as the Robin you're showing us here today :)
Beautiful image of a lovely bird.
Excellent composition with the Robin naturally framed by the branches.
Great clarity, sharpness and exposure due to wich all feather details and color tones are beautifully visible.
Perfect work. TFS!!!

Best regards, Harry

Hello Richard,
A fine springtime capture of an American Robin, here I think a female. I like the composition among the branches and the pose and the technical quality of the image is high.

Hi Richard.
Simply brilliant shot and exposure is fantastic. I am also impressed with wide DOF, razor sharpness of the details of the main pictured objects, wonderful impressive POV and blameless. Composition. Bravo. First-class work.

Hello Richard.
The robin mood is likely to tell the scene
The closeup is perfect and also the eye catch.
Perfect view

a VERY good robin maestro! You have the eyes of painter..

Hi Richard,

It's so good to see this beautiful American Robin after seeing so many of its Euorpean cousins. I love the pose with the head raised. Lovely colors and good details. I wish we had them here in Tucson.

Hi Richard

I've seen a few shot of the American Robin welcoming in the spring and its a lovely shot, I think its the closest image I've seen of one as I never realised its breast was so mottled, very nice detail with beautiful colours, I like the pose with the bird stretching its neck as if its listening to something.

Hello Richard,

A beautiful proud looking Robin captured from a favourable low-frontal POV and with enough DOF to render the whole bird in fine focus Richard, the salient plumage and colouration characteristics are perfectly recorded, and that warm eye contact compliments an already good composition while nicely warming the spring atmosphere. TFS indeed my friend.
