You sure got some nice birds on that trip, David. A sweet pose against a great contrasting background.

A beautiful composition, David. The exposure is perfect and the background and perch are excellent. This is a bird I’ve never seen.

Hi David! I love Nuthatches! They are such funny cute little birds! This is an amazing image all around!

I love nuthatches also and this is a fine capture of this species. Nice pose, perch, and background. Fine sharpness on the bird. Nicely composed also.

Hi David,

These guys are cute and you were able to get a nice composition. I wish the lighting was less harsh, but I find that the shadows are essential and provide some nice depth to the image. Well done…Jim

Hello, David, lovely bird on a nice perch against an amazing complimentary background! I like it as is, however shouldn’t you have done it, I would suggest to brighten the bird’s shadow on the branch a bit. Other than that I wouldn’t change a thing. Cheers, Hans
