This was taken this morning at my set up in a local nature center. The feeding plate was below the nuthatch and was cloned out. I was trying to get this pose. It has been a long time off the camera and felt good to get out. All C&Cs are welcome and appreciated.

What is it about these little guys that always makes me smile!
Nice IQ and perch and good BG.
I might take a sliver off the bottom for my taste,

Killer image, Jim. The details are just amazing. I am wishing for either a little more space on top or a little off of the bottom.

Hi Jim, the nuthatch is tack sharp, as the detail shows up nicely. Lovely 'hanging' pose, curved perch, and I feel the comp is just fine as is.
