An Abundance of Robins

Critique Style Requested: Standard

The photographer is looking for generalized feedback about the aesthetic and technical qualities of their image.

Description

I’ve seen more Robins this year than in any recent year. The first is my favorite for the perch and background. In the second I like how the Robin blends in with the leaves and contrasts with the grass. In the third, the Robin is centered, but I felt the rocks were an integral part of the image.

Specific Feedback

Any thoughts appreciated.

I like the first one the most as well, Allen. The second feels a little too tight for my taste, though I agree with the way it works with the background I like the rocks in the third as well, but wish the bird were facing you or maybe the other way to make the composition work a little better.

Very nice! I also prefer the first for the clean BG and lovely perch. I could go for a touch more room on the left – just a touch. The other two are nice environmental shots, but both feel like there is too much of a warm cast, and possibly just a bit too much on the first. A slight crop from the right could work for the last one but the rock on the right is attractive and I don’t mind the bird looking out of the frame.

Nice series Allen. I like the first and third image best. Interesting how the dark areas in the background of the first image kind of mimic the bird. Nice details and a lovely perch.
I like the rock in the third image too though I could see a crop from the right as an alternative.
