White-breasted Nuthatch
Another from my trip to Kentucky to visit my daughter although this image was taken in the garden of her in-laws in Maine where we spent Xmas!

Canon 5D MkII + 300mm f2.8 + x1.4 iso 400 f8 at 1/1000 (approx 1/2 frame)

Good to see you posting again David. :smile:

The lovely muted colours really compliment the subject very well. There is superb detail within the Nuthatch (as expected :wink:) with nice catchlight & classic pose. The OOF rh tree trunk really helps to frame the subject very well.

Hi David,
I like this one a lot, especially the framing with the two tree trunks and the open beak.
Excellent.
