Robin in a Spring Ring

I could not resist using this shot of one of our regular robins, sitting on a little apple tree surrounded by a ring of new leaves and apple blossom buds about to bloom. The little thing is drookit, as we would say in Scotland, as in "Ah fell in the burn an' got drookit!" It has been raining here most of yesterday and it's still drizzling down. But it's warmer at 64°and the birds seem to cope better than us humans!

In Photoshop I used a light Paint Daubs treatment and adjusted the curves to improve contrast, and used Focal Zoom to soften the perimeter.
