John, its a great shot. These colours always come out very nice. One stop down on the aperture probably would have brought it more to life still, I think, or is it just a touch on the softer side? Did you AF or MF it? You might have just been unlucky with light to use it at ISO 500. I am just being fussy because you got us used to a very high standard mate :D, your shots are always fantasti ...

Cracker shot Ken. Where are those stones? Are they on the ground? My goldies never perch on the ground they are usually on the fence or on the feeders.

Cliff, this is really wonderful. Try lifting the angle slightly, I mean raising the tripod a little (assuming you used the tripod for this). It would take the slightly back part of it and bring it into perspective and enhance, in my personal view, I think. It has a radiant colour and matches nicely with the greens of the trunk

WOW, this is the closest I have seen of a Robin with so much detail. Fantastic shot. How far were you when you took this one? What a wonderful capture.

Amazing sharpness, such lovely colours. I have only now started appreciating these little beauties. They are constantly in my backgarden but never thought they had such lovely shiny colours :0. Great capture and the pose is fantastic. Well done

Fantastic, you managed to get it right on time before it started dissipating. Absolutely picture perfect :) Well done

Beautiful, really vibrant and such lovely colours. You really nailed it nicely, well done

what a lovely shot. :mrgreen::mrgreen::mrgreen::mrgreen: I want a bluetit shot too :(:(:(:(, how come I am the only one not getting any good shots at these little beauties? Scott, send me some my way:lol:

Paul, this is a cracking image. How far were you from the subject? And what lens are you using. If its a macro then I think you should have been able to get a sharper focus, the eye doesn't seem to be spot on sharp clear.

Spot on focus and what a sharp image. The horse's hair can be almost counted and the chap's bhead stands out with their eyes on pinpointed focus. This is a great image, wel done
