Great nutty shot. !
Bird over to the left a tad would help I reckon but no great shakes.
Cheers

Hi Guy,

Lovely nutty shot! The composition works very well for me! Beautiful colours, detail, pose and perch!

Hi Guy

As lovely a Nuthatch photo as I have ever seen.

The only jarring element for me is the bare patch of trunk. If the whole trunk had been like that, fair enough but because most of it is covered with what I assume is a fungal sp. of some kind, then the bare bit draws your attention.

I wonder if a little bit of cropping plus some careful cloning might even that out a bit

Great work

Barrie :)

The bird is a little central so maybe crop a little of the LH edge-Great sharpness and detail in those lovely whispy feathers

Gorgeous Nutty shot, I feel the same about cropping of the LH side.
