While I am not a fan of boxy crops I do love the pink and green pastel in the BKGR. The image is both sharp and pleasing. The bird's breast is a bit on the dark side. The biggest problem is that the bird is angled away. Love those raindrops too.
Can you post the full frame original for us to consider?
Very nice shot.
Love the colors of the background.
Great pose and I like the perch with all the greens.
Well done.

Enjoy and thanks. Am looking forward to seeing it. Stay dry!
The BG colors are just so nice they don't look real?
I might take just a bit off both sides for more of a vertical.
Nice looking scene Vishal. Very cool looking nuthatch. I like the comp,exposure, detail and the unique BG color. The perch with the orchid sprout and the moss adds allot. Well done.
BG very pleasing to eye. Love the space. Agree with Arthur on breast. Nice one.
Wonderful image with beautiful composition. Love the frame.

Satish.

Thanks Vishal. That was one big crop. Even with my wider crop in the repost there are not a lot of pixels there. It should look pretty good starting with the optimized file. The head angle is still the head angle though.
ps: starting from a JPEG the repost looks terrible as fat as IQ but the crop is still the crop :).

Well done. I like that much better. But it still needs a bit more off of the right and a bit more room on top :)
