A well captured pose. Not often you see them perched like that. The feet are huge for such a tiny bird. A little more care required with the sharpening which has left distracting halos.

I like the composition with the curved branch leading to the subject but i think the bright background draws my attention too much

That's one very different TC pose - lucky to have the image Paul

But as has already been said - needs re-processing with some more TLC

Aren't they lovely, treecreepers? I always seem to get pictures of their backs, so I like this pose. The sky is a bit distracting especially where the beak sticks out beyond the tree trunk, but I still wish it was mine.

For me the large branch isn't helping things at all but it's a great effort given that you take what you can get with these chaps.

This seems to not have compressed very well. In fact, pretty badly. I'd try again as it has really good potential. Don't know what your work flow was, so hard to tell what has gone wrong

great shot, having watched and tried in vain to photograph a tree creeper last weekend I can appreciate how difficult this must have been, they sure are fast, agree about the processing though (not that I'd know how to even start with this)

Thanks to all for the input, I had noticed the artifacts concentrating on the TC, so another attempt is below., but seems to me only a marginal change!
