Excellent picture Mary. You captured this cute little guy so beautifully and I love the framing of the branches around him and the soft muted greens behind him. Lovely.

The composition is good, although not tremendous crisp. But with 285mm (around 430mm eq) and 1/60 second we couldn't expect any better.

A cute little one, well captured! In my opinion they are not that shy, they are rather common guests at our balcony :-)

Wonderfully captures in soft tones, orange does it better here than on the soccer field :).

Beautiful clarity and detail, MaryB. You're DOF choice provides a soft and delicate backdrop to showcase this adorable little shy boy.

I though Robin was the English name for this bird and it seems to be confirm by Richard. Beautiful greens and orange.

What a beautiful capture Mary, so tiny and cute. The colors and DOF are wonderful and so is the new growth on the branches.

Nice shot. I was never much interested in birds when I was young but I know find myself heading in the direction of taking bird photos and learning more about them.

You've captured the little chap really well. Just a quick question how did you put the border on? Was it in Elements?
24 Jun 2008 3:14pm
@Jon: Thanks Jon, you can add the border when you upload you photo to the site, you can also change the size and add colour if you wish :) it's just above where it say's watermark.

Mary
Hi again, I tried that it didn't work? grrr!!!
26 Jun 2008 3:48pm
@Jon: Are you trying to put it around one of the pic's you've already posted? if so, I don't think you can. It should work with any new posts as long as you do it before you upload it to the site, I hope that helps Jon :)
Any probs just shout :)
Jon from Basingstoke, United Kingdom
OK thanks, I'll give it a go when I have another image to upload.
