Hi Phillip

Not your usual upside down Nuthatch but very nice. I can't fault the image but feel the colour balance and contrast need tweaking in levels!

Hi Phillip

Excellent shot of the Nuthatch, good alert pose.

I must admit my first reaction was to tilt my head by 90 degrees, I think I prefer the shot orientated in Portrait format, even though this is not as you saw or photographed it.

The background makes this seem quite a 'bright' image which I find pleasing, but maybe a tweak to the levels or contrast/brightness might improve it slightly. But if you left it as is it would be fine.

cheers

Sean
