    Very nicely done, Allen. Your image is tack sharp. Love the BG and the curvaceous :) perch. Terrific use of flash and your choice of F10 was a good one.

    Very cool perch and I always like Nuthatches.
    I can see a bit of flash on the bird, maybe lowering the contrast would diminish it a bit.
    Very nice close up.

    A very nice job, Allen. Apart from everything else, the curved perch takes the image a few notches higher.

    Really enjoy the curved perch. Great details on the bird. Flash work is good.
    The one thing that could have been improved (imo), at the time of capture, is to have
    a slight head turn towards us...

    A better head angle is all that is needed here. Fantastic perch. Comp, details, and BG also look good.
