I do like Nuthatches - such lovely colours on them.
I like the composition here, but there is obviously an issue with the picture being 'burnt out' just below his chin. Hard to tell how recoverable it is in post processing, but without that issue thsi would have been even better.
Nice capture and great background and well composed. maybe the focus was not quite there as most of the detail of the birds feathers etc don't seem to be there.
First Impression: nice record shot
Presentation: good
What I Like: the way the branch partially frames the image
What I don’t Like: the lighting is harsh
IMO, Does it meet the Challenge : yes
Composition: nicely composed
Background : good
Subject Placement: a little too central but good
Cropping: good
Focus: good
Exposure: too brightly lit has blown the light feathers
Editing: good
Had this been sharp in focus I think it could have been a good scoring image. AS is its just a bit to out of focus and the spotlight feel isnt pleasing to me.
