lovely light on the bird Phil and a very attractive nuthatch shot. The background is perhaps a bit oversaturated for my liking but that could be my ropey work monitor. :smile:

Agreed a classic pose and well thought out image with crisp detail. I wonder if it's a little warm as well, might take the colour balance down on the 'red' a little.. Just noticing it more so at the top part of the stick..

Glad you had a good time and are back fully refreshed.. :rolleyes:

Lovely image and post, looking like the classic shot. Not sure on the background as it looks a bit strong (might be my calibration on my screen).

lovely crisp image, the light and pose are lovely, i can't help but feel the background is oversaturated though, perhaps just toning down the yellow would help
