    Corey-

    Lovely image. The perch seems to be just the right size for the Nuthatch. The colors and detail are just right and the head angle is great.

    The only adjustment I would make to take it over the top is to remove the dark stripe in the bg along the left side of the image.

    I like the perch, body angle, details, sharpness, exposure and clean BG. Well done Corey!

    Very nice image.
    Agree with Miguel about getting rid of dark band on left side.
    I would also increase the brightness just a bit.
    Good IQ and great head and body position.

    Nicely done. The dark line does not bother me at all; I sort of like it as a frame. The only thing that I would lighten a bit is the black in front of and behind the eye. I love the diagonals. I crop from the top might please you.
