Nuthatch
Hi everyone, not been up to much lately. Time I pulled my finger out!! :biggrin: . A Nuthatch taken in some very harsh lighting conditions, see what you think? All comments most welcome,
Regards,
Paul. :wavey:

Canon EOS 7D, Sigma 150-500mm lens.

f7.1, 1/1000 sec, ISO 200, @289mm.

Cropped for composition.

Well executed Paul, even in harsh light you have done well, also it's sharp where it needs to be, even cropped it has held the detail well. Proves, if you get it right, cropping isn't an issue, congrats! :toast: :toast: :toast:

Harsh light but handled well.Need to change that perch though.It's looking a bit dried out.
Nice one Paul.

maybe not the most attractive perch but the background makes up for it :smile: A nicely taken shot.

Looks good to me.
.Maybe a bit more space right would help.
Cheers

Nice one Paul

loads of detail but the perch could be better and I agree with John a bit more space on the right :wink:

very minor nit is that the image looks slightly over sharpened, the feather detail on the back is turning to a B&W moire patterning.

A tad oversharp as Mike says, and unless my calibrators gone 'kaput' it's got a strong orange cast cast - looks like old type S film shot under tungsten light - your colour management has gone on holiday Paul..!!!
