Classic nuthatch pose and a great background. I like your chosen crop as well. Details looks nice but seem to be lacking a touch on the top of the head. Colors of the bird look a bit washed out to me. I would add a little more saturation to the bird and a point or 2 of blacks to the bird in selective color. Would not mind a bit more exposure either. Easy fixes for a solid nuthatch image.

Looking good Jim, fab BG here which shows the bird well. Nice feather detail and I like the chunky bark on the perch. Lovely colours on the bird, with a nice POV. I too like your chosen crop. Some more contrast around the head area would take it up a notch. Lovely little birds.

Looks like you are having fun with the feeder set up. Nice image all around like the perch and the pose. Killer background as well.

Beautiful Background and post. I would have taken some canvas off at the top.

Love the classic perky pose and the BG.
I like your crop and where you have placed the bird in the frame.
good one Jim!

Thanks everyone for the comments and suggestions.

Ditto all the positives above. I love the way the rear half of the bird seem to fit the shape of the perch tree perfectly.
