Rockin' Robin

Description

While looking around the yard for flower shots, I evidently got
too close to a Robin's nest. This one had been following me around
the yard and had landed on the fence. I was able
to capture him as he was taking off.

Morning light, macro settings and lens
Dry Brush applied along with noise reduction

What a BEAUTY! These guys will bomb dive you if they feel you get TOO TOO close to the nest. Hope you are OK! Great capture Eloise! Beautiful rich tones. -Laura ~SSS~ #921527

Heh, heh, heh.... I believe Laura meant to say "DIVE-BOMB" so... yah. Although you never know!
Anyhoo, cool effect Eloise, he most certainly rocks! #5927591

Thanks ladies. He never dive bombed me, but he was my leader and shadow. It sure looked like he was doing a happy dance when I saw the image I got. Probably celebrating that I was heading back to the house. #5927752
