A nice look from this little guy. Glad to see all the RB Nuts in the last few days -- I love them, and this is a nice catch. I might be tempted to brighten the eye just a little.

Nice pose background the the sloping lichen covered perch works well, Jim.

[Grace Scalzo]

Lovely, sweet bird, pose, and perch.

[John Cooper]

I would love to have your back-yard birds Jim! Another lovely composition, good IQ, HA and BG - a very nice composition.

I have never seen as many good nuthatch photo's as have posted in the last week or so.
Very nice.

Excellent setup.I like the diagonal perch,pose of RB Nuthatch,colors,details and nice BG.
Agree with Bill Sir about brightening of eye.

Regards,
Satish.

Great looking shot and I think its your best nuthatch shot posted. The detail is very clean and exposed well. Perfect HA, perch size and creamy BG make for a beautiful pic. Well done.

[Roman Kurywczak]

Very nice! I agree with the eye but be careful not to overdo it. Minor tweak to a wonderful image.

[Stu Bowie]

Hi Jim, I like how the pose follows the line of the perch, and you have captured the finer detail nicely. Well exposed and sharp too.

[Daniel Cadieux]

I love this species, and it is fun to hand feed along with the chickadees:S3: Nice simple image design with a beautiful perch, nice BG, and balanced comp.

[Petros Petrou]

Very nice image. I like the soft light, detail, pose and eye contact. I wish I had a backyard with visitors like these :-)
