Nice and sharp for that speed hand held. Well done.
Like the branch and bird but all the blank space is very confusing. IMHO Try cropping to just the bird and branch and leave a little space on the left.
BTW pasing the full 5mb file is a bit excessive and takes a long time to download on slower bb circuits. If you post 800x600 size images they will be much faster to load and just as good to view.

Me too. Much improved composition in my opinion. Can I also suggest you play with the contrast to remove some of the 'milkiness' (I don't know the proper terminology). If this was taken recently, the robin's breast ought to be much more red in it's summer plumage, which I think you can achieve by adjusting contrast/vibrance/saturation.

I agree, the image has much more 'punch' without being 'over-processed'. You ought to be very pleased with the end result.
Out of interest, did you shoot it RAW, or JPG? RAW gives you much more post-processing latitude for adjustments.

Yes, it's now a very nice picture. The range of green tones contrasts nicely with the reddish breast.Adjusted levels and curves.

He's a rather scruffy little blighter, though.

Sharpened Very much so.I see this image as sharp
Knowing how to sharpen images, and especially for web view is an art in itself. From that image you cannot really tell the sharpness of the lens.
