I love the background on this shot. So many of your bird photos have such complementary backgrounds. Is this a photoshop trick or just an incredible eye? I am sure it is the latter. This bird is beautiful - kudos to your skill!

Hi Cecilia,
Very nice shot of the White-breasted Nuthatch. The sunflower seed in the beak and the natural pose of the bird beside details and colours make this picture a special one. TFS

Hi Cecilia,
Wonderful capture of this nuthatch with a seed in its mouth. Lovely colours and composition, great details.
Lise

Hi Cecilia,
this sure is a wonderfully detailed shot of the little nuthatch.I like watching these birds and it is so neat how they walk down trees head first picking up on what other birds missed going up the trees head first.I like the colour in this shot and that sunflower seed in it's beak is a sweet touch.A very clear and well focused shot and thank you for giving us this view.I'll be back tomorrow.

Hello Cecilia ! Like I said before, you have your own style of photography and that's pretty rare I think. Your bird shots are fantastic and this one is a perfect exemple of that. Everything in it is just so beautiful. Thanks !

Mario

Hello Cecilia

Another beauty.The setting is wonderful with an excellent POV and DOF.The OOF BG reminds me of a portrait backdrop.The focus is your usual tack sharp with super plumage definition.Lovely eye contact and catch light.
