Pseudo 3D, John. :smile: :wink: For a 'flatty' it has a good feeling of depth. Looking forward to the real version. :biggrin:

Looks good to me, John. The setting is spot on and the foliage to the righthand side works well. No nits from me :toast:

The composition is really good John, those bits of foliage frame the bird well. :toast:

John I think this is fantastic - the setting is wonderful, and the leaves frame the Nuthach very well - it has a very wintry feel to it :toast: :toast: :toast:

Classic pose and almost has a 'studio' look to it John.

Personally, I'd prefer slightly more space at the top and to the left so that the perch has a little room around it, but other than that a super shot.

Very attractive image. If this is a set-up, you forgot to use your toothbrush on the bird lime. Personally, I use the wife's :biggrin:
