    A nice look from this little guy. Glad to see all the RB Nuts in the last few days -- I love them, and this is a nice catch. I might be tempted to brighten the eye just a little.

    I would love to have your back-yard birds Jim! Another lovely composition, good IQ, HA and BG - a very nice composition.

    Great looking shot and I think its your best nuthatch shot posted. The detail is very clean and exposed well. Perfect HA, perch size and creamy BG make for a beautiful pic. Well done.

    Very nice! I agree with the eye but be careful not to overdo it. Minor tweak to a wonderful image.

    Hi Jim, I like how the pose follows the line of the perch, and you have captured the finer detail nicely. Well exposed and sharp too.

    I love this species, and it is fun to hand feed along with the chickadees Nice simple image design with a beautiful perch, nice BG, and balanced comp.

    Very nice image. I like the soft light, detail, pose and eye contact. I wish I had a backyard with visitors like these :-)
