White-breasted Nuthatch

[Jim Crosswell]

This was taken this morning at my set up in a local nature center. The feeding plate was below the nuthatch and was cloned out. I was trying to get this pose. It has been a long time off the camera and felt good to get out. All C&Cs are welcome and appreciated.

What is it about these little guys that always makes me smile!
Nice IQ and perch and good BG.
I might take a sliver off the bottom for my taste,

Hi Jim. It looks like your morning setup really paid off! Love the pose! Also the light, perch, and background work very well here. Very nicely done!

Killer image, Jim. The details are just amazing. I am wishing for either a little more space on top or a little off of the bottom.

Hi Jim, the nuthatch is tack sharp, as the detail shows up nicely. Lovely 'hanging' pose, curved perch, and I feel the comp is just fine as is.

[Cheryl Arena Molennor]

Love the pose and detail on the body.I too would take some from the bottom
