Those are very nice shots Alan, some very nice feather detail.

George, shame on you for hijacking Alans thread, but as you've started it we may as well turn it into a free for all. I'm sure Alan wont mind if I say "robins only please"

Sorry but this has been posted before

Very nice shots Alan (and others). That kit lens looks very good.
Best wishes,

Andrew

These would look great in mono don't you think?

Nice shots but Alan - way to steal the show!

It is rather good isn't it but I wasn't trying to steal anyones glory, Alans (this could get confusing) shots are equally as good, I was just lucky with the background.

As for Georges shots, while not quite in the same league as Alans and my own he has done really well with them, have a look at the EXIF data, 1/25th at 180mm and I suspect its only the movement of the bird thats caused the softness.

I reckon this is a conspiracy to make my robin shots look second rate

Truth is my robin shots can't match these (yet - I will keep trying) - well done guys, shots I reckon you are rightly proud of.

Can someone send the robin back to Wales now to give me another chance
