Took a drive through River Legacy Park this afternoon and saw a bunch of these feeding on the ground after the rain stopped.

Nice shot John. Haven't seen a lot of Robins around in this area.

Very nice John, I like the color!

Well done, John - I like the colors you captured.

Nice capture of a Robin, but there seems to be a bit of noise on the background, or maybe its this work monitor. I useTopaz Denoise 5, works pretty good at cleaning up the noise.

Thanks, everyone!

Fred, thanks for commenting. I cleaned up the noise some but wanted to be careful so as not to lose too much detail in the bird (no masking here). I'd rather suffer a little noise and keep some detail.

I totally agree, its a fine line to push it too far......I know

Did you know you can get rid of noise in the background with the blur tool in PS.Works better than any noise reduction I have ever used and no damage to you subject.

I'll have to try that sometime. Thanks, Dennis!

Great detail!

Pretty capture John, like seeing this one. Anytime I see Robins it's a indication of spring right around the corner.

JohnT · 01-10-2012, 06:01 PM

Thanks, Rex and David. I agree: when I see robins, I think of spring.
