This comp work very well for me, love the pose, the light, the BG, the detail is outstanding and the textures are terrific! Congratulations!

[Doug Hitchcox]

The simplicity of it is great. All the colors seem to complement eachother and you nailed the perfect pose for a nuthatch. If I had to nit, I guess it would be nice to see a little more DOF but this looks great as is... very sharp for 1/160

Hi Ron,

Overall, I really like this one. The comp and the clean BG work well with the subject. Love the light and the eye contact. Maybe some selective sharpening on the bill would be appropriate but this is really nothing.

[Ron van Rossum]

Thanks for your comments.....
Wished for some more DOF,but due to the among of light that was sort
of impossible...

[John Blumenkamp]

Love the composition and light on this one against that awesome background.

All round fine image - I like composition background and plumage detail.

[Jasper Doest]

I agree on the DOF issue, but the pose and composition is really nice here. Seems like the light was just not enough to give you some more flexibility....you certainly made best of the situation here.

Thanks a lot for your replies: Next time I hope to have some more light..:)
