    He caught me by surprise so I ended up using what I think was too slow a shutter speed. Doesnt appear as sharp as I would like. Mainly wondering about pp, croping, colour contrast etc.

    I like it one of the better robin shots on here, well done.

    I think you may have over-sharpened this. It has that noisy look about it. Other than that, I think the pp and clours are great. I'd probably crop the first to a rectangle, there's alot of empty space at the top.

    Thanks for the replies.
    Do you think I over-sharpened both or just the second?
    I agree about the first one, a bit too much extra space. I will crop a bit more.

    And I'd crop the bigger picture to leave less space behind him and more in front. Wildlife should have space in the frame to "move into".

    Both I think. The second looks like it was slightly sharper to begin with due to focus/lack of movement; I think it's a stronger shot in that respect. They're both very good though.

    Thanks for the advice.
    I tried recropping the first image with more space in the foregroud and less in the background.
    I will try and take it easy on the sharping :) I actually sharpening the 2nd photo more than the first, but you are right it was sharper to start out with.
    Since I appear to be going well I have added an Orangutan and a monkey as well :)
