A Nuthatch thought it may be a bit tight on the bottom but nearly full frame so no room there

Sweet shot Karen. Love the comp, perch branch, and BG. Sharpness and detail are perfect. Not much else to say. Very well done.

Really a lovely image Karen, great pose, eye contact, details and sharpness. The gradual color change of the background is very appealing. I like this quite a bit as posted.

Just gorgeous!
Great bird in a nice pose, good BG, and lovely percg.
It is a bit tight - but it would be a simple thing to clone in a bit more branch and canvas, if you wanted...

Excellent! This U.K. Nuthatch is very similar to our Red-breasted, but much larger, I believe. Would love to see one.

A top notch image! I like the comp with him lower in the frame, too. Sharon

I certainly wouldn't call this tight. Not a thing I would change about this one. Beautiful all around and the perch sends this one over the top for me.

Oh my Karen,
What a beautiful image. I would like a little more room behind and on the bottom in a perfect world. Other than that I love everything about this Karen. The background and perch could not be better, and the details are exceptional. Very, Very Nice!!
