This cheeky Robin was a difficult subject to capture on camera today at Blashford Lakes Nature Reserve, but not for the normal reason, it kept hoping towards me and getting too close to the lens to take.

However a bit of perseverance by me, in backing off from it I got a couple of close up images of the bird.

Having recently purchased Topaz Texture Effects, I decided to have a play with the new plugin with these two images of the Robin.

Here is the before and after of both shots.
