A big welcome to BPN! It is a great place to learn and grow as a nature photographer.
A classic nuthatch pose, sharp, well exposed. Nice background.
The perch is a bit massive for this little fellow. If this is a setup, I would consider trying a small perch placed near the feeder, which is a bit smaller, so that it doesn't overpower the subject.
There are lots of good examples of setups shown on the site. Alan Murphy for one does a great job selecting perches to go with his subject. If you do a search on his name, you will see some of his work.
Look forward to more!

Hi Paul, another big welcome from me, and I like your comp in this. Goog 'hanging' pose looking into space, and I like how the head is separated from the tree trunk. Overall sharp, with a good OOF distant BG.
Typical but excellent pose from the nuthatch. The techs look (don't forget to include them in your subsequent threads) and the subject is sharp - superb IQ. I actually love the perch and find that it frames the subject nicely. Only thing I would do is use a 20-25% opacity clone stamp (using a soft brush) to blend the palish streaks in the BG, as I did here. Looking forward to more from you!!
