So here is my image for 'week 0' Nearby, this was taken at a wetlands close to where I live this very morning (in Tier 3 here)

You had snow? Lucky ***
Nice crisp shot with sufficient DoF to get all the important parts of the Robin in focus.

 

[Fuji Dave]

Good start for your 52 Jim, nice colourful Robin shot and snow too.

 

[Roxanne Withy]

Here we go. Amazing shot! Incredible detail <3

 

[seaodyssey]

Very nice robin, nice and sharp, plenty of detail, really stands out.

Thanks both, but it's not snow, just a really sharp frost this morning.

Many thanks

Haha, thanks both, much appreciated.

I always like a robin shot, especially the detail on this one against the white. Very nice

Aha, proof that the forum software softens images. The Flickr click through is a tad sharper on the eye. Very nice capture in some nice bright light. The black background is a bit pixelated and splotchy on my monitor though. I'd also prefer to see a bit more space to the (camera) left. Was the square presentation with a central subject a deliberate choice?

Thanks for the CC. Yes, I had the square crop in mind when I made the image; the background is perfectly fine on my monitor, both here and on Flickr (anyone else get 'splotchy' pixelation?) it could be your monitor(?)

That's a real christmas card shot. Great detail. I would love too see some snow but all I have is mud, glorious mud!

Thanks Helen, it was actually a thick frost, but it looks good

Hi Jim @FlyPhot ... nice find, good subject colour & detail. Slightly odd seeing a robin with a black & blue BG. But the harsh backlight works.

 

[Minx]

lots of detail on the Robin good dof great start to the year.

 

[Allan.H]

I like the light, very wintery low light, worth a click through to flickr, nice start to the year.

Ah, Robins, the supermodels of the wildlife photography world -- they let you get close, they strike numerous poses, they are photogenic. Britain's favourite bird...and well-taken in the frost.

First off the mark - and a very nice image. Very seasonal, very sharp and plenty of detail. The pose of the bird is great.

Nice detail in the feathers. The snow on the beak really gives it something.

Cheers Nick. You can even see bits of frost falling off the beak if you look closely.

 

[Kell]

That's a great shot - perfect wintery scene and pin sharp too.

Great Shot Jim, beautifully in focus and the colours are spot one. Fab start to 2021

 

[susiejb]

Lucky you getting some snow it makes your shot picture perfect, super detail and a smashing start to your thread.

Thanks Susie, it wasn't actually snow, just a very heavy frost.

Thats a great picture, I love the deatil in the feathers.

Thank you

 

[StuartPearson]

Great shot and level of detail, anytime I'm trying to get pictures of birds all I do is hear them but never see them anywhere near the range of my camera. Definitely has a Christmas card look about it

Thanks Stuart. I was very lucky with this one, it seemed really tame and I managed to get very close.

 

[Cloudforest]

A lovely pic Jim and a great start to the 52.
