Significant alteration to perch. I am not sure if this is acceptable as "avian" and if it is not I have no objection to it being moved,

Nice bird, nice pose and colors. The large version seems a little soft to me.
Did you clone something out on the perch?

Thanks for sharing!

Nice capture of this little nuthatch. I like the bg and the tongue showing. The blurry part on the perch is distracting....if you cloned something off of it, maybe the use of the history brush would bring it back clearer? I also agree...the smaller version is sharper. Sharon

Really sweet pose, and I love that background. Do see the fuzzy edge on the perch where it looks like there's some cloning artifact.

Nice pose, Charlie. I think I'm seeing significant noise in the breast, particularly in the larger image.

Nice! I don't think I've ever seen a bird's tongue!
