    Hi John, for a big crop it looks pretty darn good. Interesting bird, exposure and feather detail look spot on, nice composition. Thank you for sharing.

    Lovely shot John, you have wonderful detail in the darks and lights. Focus and DOF spot on.

    John:

    The details are outstanding, sharpness, exposure, pose.

    I could see a sliver off the bottom, because of the pose, looking up. Personal taste.

    Cheers

    Classic nuthatch pose, I like it a lot. I love the "flowing" neck and belly feathers. If anything I would have liked a bit more "life" to the eye such as a brighter reflection. Nicely done.

    Great detailed look at this fun little bird, particularly his foot! Exposure on snow
    looks right as well. Yes, more life in eye would be good but the light was completely
    flat. Still a very nice image!
