Nuthatch Full Speed Ahead

The stop action in this photo is impressive, because I know how fast these little birds can shift. I have studies them in my own garden. You also have a very nice background, and the bird is standing out from it in just an excellent way.

Your focus is just spot on and sharp and it is clear and well defined details to be seen in the bird. I also think the exposure is perfect.

The way you have cropped the photo works well, and the bird is well placed within the frame. This indeed a great looking and well taken photo Grace, and with an excellent DOF.

Lovely capture of this beautiful little Nuthatch in flight, Grace. The softened background really makes him stand out. Love the sheen on his feathers. Excellent lighting and focus showing a beautifully crisp image. Lovely composition. Suzanne

Grace,
A beautiful stop action picture of this Nuthatch taking off from the tree a sunbeam shining down upon it the soft blurred background makes it stand out in three dimensions from it . Beautiful composition framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.

Glad you identified this bird, he's like a dart, on a mission. Great crispness and detail. The hazy grass behind him just makes him stand out even more. Good job.

Off and flying.
To catch the action of the bird in flight so clearly takes special talent. No doubt the nuthatch thought you were after it. LOL Love the photo. Thank you for sharing.

A unique nature shot of this Nuthatch in mid-air. I like the expression captured on his face. Superb eye clarity! Good camera techniques and nice stop action. I like your wide aperture blurring your background and complimenting your photography beautifully. Outstanding work and thanks for sharing!
