Number two. I like the out of focus front and back with the Robin in the middle.

I like the second one 'cos he looks like he's being approached by a miniature Victorian Robocop

Number 1 for me. I like the framing between the two OOF robocops. Actually they look more like lego men in safari hats.

I like the first image most of the three.

I don't think you can go wrong with any of these - superb! My screen does have the Robin a bit dark; is there any latitude for a small bit of dodging to lift it slightly? I notice that you had -0.7 ev exposure compensation dialled in - may I ask why? (I've made it a mission for 2010 to grapple with exposure!!)

Either way looks great but personally I prefer number one asd it seems a bit more than "just another bird photo".
Best wishes, Kris.

It is an illusion that photos are made with the camera they are made with the eye, heart and head. Henri Cartier-Bresson
Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

Thanks for all the positive comments guys, and the laugh!
Think Alan is right though, it is one I will keep coming back too and still won't make my mind up!
The -0.7EV was dialled in for a previous shot with a lot of reflections in it, didn't get chance to change it though, as I would have missed the shot otherwise!
Making it a resolution to post more photos this year, and certainly got off to a lucky start with this little fella. He even posed for me later on, but in the shade where there wasn't much light, so I used the onboard flash for it:-

When i'm trying to work out what sort of crop would look good, I use my browser window and drag the top, bottom and sides in and out until i see a good crop.
I would like to have seen the image with tight(ish) crops on both sides up to hefty's 'victorian robo cops' so that they frame the robin.

This is the original shot:-
just not sure what works out best composition wise.
Which of the following crops do you prefer, or of course, if neither, what would you do?!
1.
2.
Please feel free to play with this as much as you like, would be interesting to see how other people think!
