Same perch, different bird! I promise I will submit a different perch for the next post. Comments appreciated.

Albert,

Love the background, the bird stands out very well from it. Nice details, sharpness, pose and light n the eye. I like the comp too. Well done.

Nice shot of a neat little bird. I like the blue background. The bright white area is a bit of a distraction, but not very serious to me.

Hi, Albert. The feather details, pose, comp, and background are outstanding, and I don't mind the perch at all! :smile: Excellent capture of this lovely nuthatch.

Looks very nice Albert, fine details & natural colors.
Well composed with just the right amount of space around the bird too.
One thing I would probably do if it was mine. I use the Viveza 2 program quite often to bring up the birds head slightly, especially if it's turned away from the light a bit.
Makes it very easy to selected just the all important head/eye and +/- the brightness in very small amounts .
That said ;)
Well done! :toast:
