Eye to Eye....

[Rosl Roessner]

I found this european nuthatch snoozing on a rock....
Oooh, I love my new big lens :-)))

Mark III / 500 mm
1/400 / f 4 / ISO 2000

[Axel Hildebrandt]

Very nice details and BG. I'm wondering if a slightly higher angle would have improved the image.

[Rich Ikerd]

Great front-on point of view, but the OOF foreground intrudes just a bit much for my liking. Super detail and DOF as well.

[Kaushik Balakumar]

ISO2000 did u say ? gorgeous. lovely details of the bird.

[Steve Maxson]

I like the pose, sharpness, and background, Rosl. I agree that the OOF foreground is distracting. This could also work as a vertical crop.

[Stephen Stephen]

Rosl I really like the bird but I would crop at least 1/2 of the OOF foreground off of this image.
