Nuthatch
Wet and stormy over here. This afternoon I was able to capture three different species. This is one of them.

This is beautiful Edwin, I like the jaunty angle of the perch, it really helps the balance.

Also like the way the blue grey lichen is reflected in the plumage colour.

A stunning shot. I love the unusual composition too with the bird in that little space in the perch.

I think this is excellent for two main reasons: 1) I love the way the Nuthatch is so evenly and clearly lit. 2) The lichen covered perch is superb and different from the more usual perch we see these birds on. I really like the way the perch extends above and below the bird and it's curved shape adds an extra dimension of interest to the image.

Only small nit I have is the bird's left foot looks a bit strange. Have you done a slight alteration around that area?
