Very nice Nuthatch Phillip. The blossom looks a little incongruous with the moss, but thats cause i used to be a fruit grower.

Most pleasant.

Hi Phillip,

Cracking shot, the perch is a bit of a conumdrum (Odd looking) sort of out of place. :wavey: :toast:

No body uses perches more than I do but this one is a little over top I think. As someone has said it looks odd coming out of the moss. The mossy trunk would have been great on its own I reckon.
Nice pic though.
Cheers

Sorry Phil, but I am in the same camp as the 'perch setting is wrong' brigade :wink:

Conundrum or not it's the sort of pic tat's likely to be pretty commercial - works for me in that respect Phil (but you might have expected that :wink: )!

Would have been great but the perch just don't seem right, its the branch with blossom coming out of the mossy bit that is odd....

All the best

Very colorful and attractive shot. The perch is a bit overwhelming though. :wavey:

Love the bird, it colours, sharpness and pose on a gorgeous mossy perch...blossom, lovely as it is, detracts imo. Sorry!

I shan't mention the b******, this a nice image. I particularly like the bird's pose.
