Improvement #6

[Paul Lagasi]

Weymouth Woods, NC, same place as Towhee, had to move back with tripod and 500 he was so close.
Gave me a few minutes on this branch...cleaned up perch and cropped.
Cutest little bird...a Brown-headed Nuthatch

I like the perch and background very much. Maybe it's just my less than 20/20 vision but the image looks a smidgeon bluish.

[Paul Lagasi]

Charles your right about the blue, it showed up in my image of a Towhee I posted last night..not sure why the blue is there, maybe it was the light that day....maybe a setting in my new camera...I will have to look into it though...thanks for comment

[Joerg Rockenberger]

Love the color palette, pose and sharpness of the bird. Can't comment re the bluish cast as I don't know how the bird looks in reality - and under the circumstances taken.

It appears as if the bird was sharpened while the branch was not. The branch seems a bit overbearing. JR

Paul, good feather detail on the chest, and I like the pose. Comp wise, I would maybe take at least half off the top.
