Description
I was sitting on the porch yesterday evening and it was pretty birdy in the back yard. When the robins started going crazy in the bird bath, I gave in and went for the camera. I couldn’t get too close and these aren’t a large bird so this is quite a substantial crop, but I think it held up quite well.
Specific Feedback
Mainly composition. I Had just enough pixels that I could have done a portrait format and it would have held up for the web, but I decided to stick with the landscape orientation.
