Nuthatch

Taken in my backyard.

Feeder set up.

The perch produced some nice berries last summer.

Great looking perch and profile. Not wild of angle and sky shine through in the background.
Recommend harvest the perch and replace it so that there is no light shine through behind.

[Filomena Larson]

I agree. Thanks for the suggestion. Already tried to move the perch but this was the best image of the bird I have caught so far. Thanks for your comments.

Some nice detail in the bird Filomena. My main critique would be the distracting shiny spots in the BG.

Great sharpness/detail, good composition. Overall, a bit dark to my eye, and I agree about the hot spots in the BG. I know how hard these are to catch, so I think you have done very well.

Nice pose with good detail. The BG spots look ok to me because of how the three blobs are spaced. They almost provide a frame (with the much smaller, less bright one in front) for the bird.
