White Breasted Nuthatch

This is a routine visitor to the woods near my house in southern Colorado. I always enjoy the detail revealed in the feathers of these small birds.
D4 with 500 mm lens, f/9, 1/1600, Auto ISO at 360 and -2/3EC. This is about 80% of the original. Richard

Like the perch and the bird techs are right on. The blue background is a pleasing background for the nuthatch -- looks good to me

One of the better poses I've seen for these little guys. Nicely handled Richard, I like it very much! :toast:

Nice pose with uncluttered BG. Looks dark on my screen though. Also, reducing contrast in BG might eliminate out of focus elements on the left. I find them a little distracting.

Cheers,

Hisham.
