WITH Christmas just around the corner, a festive robin has been chosen as The Journal's Picture of the Week.

The photograph's sharp focus on the robin impressed the judges, as the bird surveyed its surroundings for food.

It was captured by Richard Taylor, of Witney Road, Lowestoft, late last month when he was visiting friends in Redisham.

Mr Taylor will receive his photograph in a 12in x 10in frame, mounted and inscribed, worth more than �60, from Picture Studios, of London Road North, Lowestoft. The winning picture will also go forward to a six-monthly winners' final contest, when he will be in with a chance of claiming a 12in x 18in photo block worth �130.
