Very nicely done, Karen. The snowy perch, smooth BG and the superb detail in the nutty make for a very pleasing image. Top shot.

Nice shot Karen, the subtle textures in the BG provide a wonderful backdrop for this handsome little guy. Well captured.

Adorable. Love the typical nuthatch pose and subtle colors against the snow. The eye stands out very nicely from the black headband.

Nice exposure and super detail on this shot Karen. Colors of the bird really pop against the BG. Well done.

Detail is really nice here Karen and I like the snooty pose. Good colors too. The hints of color in the background make a big difference for me.

I always love Nuthatches and this is very nice. Our Nuthatches have a much darker back though but I don't know where in the country you are so maybe there is a difference.

Beautiful setting, pose and eye contact Karen, I also like how the bill is just barely opened at the tip. Nice light, good exposure and I love the snowy perch
