Red-breasted Nuthatch

40D, Canon 100-400@360mm, 1/250 f 10.0 ISO 320

The main negative here is that critical focus is near the base of the leg and not on the eyes. The perch is somewhat overpowering too. Looks like this guy is quite inquisitive and willing to offer more opportunities! :-)

Arsdel I have to agree with Dan that the focus is off . It also looks as if you might have used some fill flash (double catchlight in the eye). If so you may wish to add that to the details.

Hopefully you'll get other changes to create more images. Red-breasted nuthatches make nice subjects.
