Agree about the peanut, but what a classic pose for you and superb detail and colour throughout. I'm struggling bit with the almost square layout but that is very very minor and will probably grow on me.. I'd love to get something like this in my PF and I'm sure I will one day.

I quite like it, I'm in two minds about the peanut, yes it is a classic pose some may say ruined by the nut but on the other hand you have caught what they do really quite well. In terms of a crop, I would like to see a little bit more space at the top perhaps?

Nice classic pose. I think when CS5 comes along it may have a Peanut Healing Tool :biggrin:

Lovely shot, the perch is great, so is the background and light. I have to say the peanut doesn't really bother me either, after all they do visit feeders!

Matt,

love the pic overall - typical Nuthatch - crisp, cheeky and cheerful - with rich colours and great lighting. The peanut is a little too prominent for my liking - partic with the reflected light - but no big deal, still a great shot! :toast: Cliff
