Very nice John. Lovely frame, bird, perch and BG. The details on the bird are beautiful and I love the HA. Wished we got them up here, but they are very scarce.

Lovely John.
I would give more room below if you have it to include the entire cone/seed pod and would clone out the bit of debris on the beak.
Bird loks great!

Wonderful detail and colors on the Nuthatch, the more I looked at the image the more I felt it was just a little to busy on the left and I found the seed pods pulling my eye off the subject.

[John Robinson]

Thanks all. Don- I presume you mean busy on the left ?
Gail- no more for the bottom I,m affraid. I could draw a catkin in but maybe not!!!//!!

Hi John, nice work. Nice colors and detail, the moire can be fixed. I don't mind the plant buds because it tells a story why the bird is there. Thank you for sharing.

I like the classic Nuthatch pose and BG. Nice image John.

[John Robinson]
