Bold White Breasted Nuthatch, Central Park 20130409 — Bold White-breasted Nuthatch, Central Park 4/9/2013

I put a cloudy sky behind the Nuthatch to eliminate a noisy background. No other enhancements were necessary for this sideways standing Nuthatch with attitude.

Composite created in Photoshop 10/3/2014. NIKON D7000, f-stop f/6.3, exposure time 1/640 sec., ISO 100, focal length 600mm, and max aperture 5.

anti gravity, great!
maybe, crop the sky side to tighten the birds stance and mood

I think this is a great picture. It is very alive. The nuthatch almost looks like it is about to move.

This one is really weird. The bird looks like it is tree climbing.

When I look at this photo carefully, I can see that the nuthatch is standing sideways on the trunk, but my first impression was . . . oh, this photo is displayed sideways. Silly of me, probably, but I really thought it was a mistake at first.
