A very good image, Andy, but the whites are just starting to blow under the chin on my monitor. Easily sorted though.

Great pose, eye, colours, oerch and BG!
The whites seem a bit hot to me as well - but easily brought down.
Nice!

Another cracking image, Nuthatches make great subjects so photogenic imho.

Good detail in the dark tonal range without any obtrusive noise. Not sure how folks are checking the whites - they look OK to me though the printer is probably not going to be putting down much ink in those areas. I like the lighting and the dark background but I think I would have brightened the bill slightly in processing to get a little more tonal separation between it and the background.
