This guy showed up in my yard a few weeks ago and seems very, very curious about us. Clearly watches us moving around inside and doesn't spook when I come near the window. He's the first Robin I've ever seen eating from one of our bird feeders (he likes suet, apparently). He spends a LOT of time in my backyard. Every time I decide to take bird pictures he appears front and center, so he must want to be my FS entry ;-)
PP - cropped, qtpfsgui (pregamma 0.697, mantiuk method, contrast mapping 0.1, saturation factor 1.029, detail factor 1), erased some of background and merged with original at 30% transparency to get more detail on the Robin, white balance, increased contrast, dodged eye a little (light was pretty good to start with), colored whitish strip in background green, colored out a little of the old on the deck rail, vignette around bird, resized, sharpened, added border.

such detail, I just had a WHOLE flock of these birds go through my yard the other day headed back up North...they are delightful little fell'as and gals
Beautiful! Great composition, lovely depth of field, good detail and light. Would like to see a bit more detail in the face, but it's great that you've got that 'over the shoulder, looking at you' capture.
