My Best Robin To Date

Photos taken at lunchtime with Sigma 300mm lens

So nearly on the nail with the first 2. I think you've just missed the focus on #1 - the feathers look sharp, but the eye is a bit soft. Nice catchlight and good bokeh.

#2 is good for composition, but I think you've focused on the top branch.

Great light on both of those.

I'm afraid the others are simply out of focus.

(Don't feel offended - I don't really do birds, but that's partly because I know how hard it is to get it right - you've done well)

I'm struggling a bit because the Sigma 300mm lens is manual focus- my eyes probably aren't as good they used to be! Probably time to invest in some autofocus glass? Also sods law states the pics I do get in focus aren't such good compositions!

I'll have another go at lunch time.
