That's a pretty mean stare-down Christopher - were you scared? I love that silky autumn background. Also very nice detail in the bird and a good perch. For some reason the centered composition works well for me in this one.

[Karl Egressy]

Very nice picture, I really like the matching background and the stare, Chris.

Not often do nuthatches look my way.
Interesting perch and very attractive BG.

[John Cooper]

A great composition Chris and that stare is so penetrating..!! Very sharp subject, textured perch and sweet BG provide lots of impact to this image.

[Daniel Cadieux]

Good details, great BG, neat perch. Love that huge hind claw. I wouldn't mind having the subject a bit higher in the frame, but still not bad as is.

Hi Chris, great eye contact, and I like the soft colours on the nuthatch, and great view of the foot. I do like the BG colours, and I too would like to see him higher in the frame.

[Bill Dix]

Can't get any better eye contact than that. Love the golden bg, and interesting perch. Another very different nuthatch look. Got any more?
