Technical Details

Is this a composite: No
Iso-500, 400+1.4 X, F6 .3, 2000th, around 50% of full frame

An exceptional image, David. A great look at the acrobatic skills of the Nuthatch. I like the light, the soft creamy background, the feather coloring detail and of course the branch and moss clumps. Curious if you handheld this shot or set up a tripod and waited for it to move in?

A new bird for me - what a wonderful little creature and that pose is so typical of them. Bravo! :clap:t3:

Hi David
The Nuthatch is giving you a really nice pose and it just pops of the creamy background. The framing, detail and color are vary nice.

Beautiful image with a great composition, David. The detail is outstanding as usual and the pose is classic Nuthatch, but particularly effective from the bottom of the slanting branch.

this one was handheld

Hi David, lovely image - terrific pose and perch. Love the lichen. Fine background. Well done.
