Stunningly beautiful. A little noise in bg, but it hardly matters. You've captured the meaning perfectly.

Such a pretty little bird - complimentary background colors. One day I'd like to see one of these with my own two eyes. Nice detail, composition. Well done.

Very cool, Bobbie. Very good capture of detail on this bug. Down to the beady little eyes (and catchlight therein)

Ania, there is so much detail in this shot that I feel i can touch the computer screen and feel its feathers. Perfectly captured beautiful insect. Way to be patient.

Simply stunning! Soft colors with sharp focus - intricate detail. Pleasing crop. Well done!
Penny

Lovely capture! Splendid detail and color!

Hi Nick,
I love nuthatches. Rarely do I get a chance to take a decent picture though. Great job, especially with the pose! Good details too - color and composition. Nice all around.
Cheers!

Hello Jesus. Perfectly captured - fine detail and color. Love the dew drop on the leaf. Lends emotion. Well done.

A lovely insect - and you've captured it with great detail and color. Nice DOF as well.

Very nice capture, Peter! Excellent details, color and framing; but even moreso the composition. We don't get to see birds in battle very often captured on film.
