Very nice pose was offered to you by this white breasted nuthatch, it's as if it is posing for the photo. Nice side profile view. Spot on focus, this image is sharp and clear and your exposure is perfect. Colors and tones appear natural, well defined detail in feathers, face and beak, that clear eye complete with reflective light establishes a connection between the bird and the viewer.
I like the vertical format and the man made perch doesn't bother me a bit, it shows what these birds do.
Well presented!

You've got an eye for nature photography! The framing works beautifully, and the blend of light, shadows, and vibrant colours makes this shot stand out. Fineeffort!

Thanks so much for your kind words, certainly appreciated even if it took me a few weeks to get back online.
