European Robin (Erithacus rubecula, [link]) up close. I encountered this little bird in the zoo of Wuppertal. The description "relatively unafraid of humans" in Wikipedia was one vast understatement for this little fellow, who was hopping around right between our feet and around our bags and later settled in a low bush right next to us for some singing and that's where I got this extreme close-up shot without any problem.

First off, everyone here at deviantART would like to say THANK YOU!!! We have received an overwhelming amount of enthusiasm for the launch of version 6 and believe that this has been our best-received launch to date.

`karemelancholia is one of the most genuine deviants you could ever met. Always active and a true deviantART cheerleader and supporter in every aspect. You can always count on her to lend a hand or get involved, and you usually will find her doing large amounts of both at any given moment. She's consistently reports on contests around dA, showcases the efforts of her fellow artists and shows her charitable side through various activities. Besides all of this, she's a truly talented artist which is why she's an obvious choice for deviousness this month. Read More
