So much like my Blue Tit from the other day this was captured somewhat unexpectedly in so much as I never set out to photograph anything let alone small birds and most certainly something I can honestly say I can not remember the last time I saw one. A bit of a result then!
So this one was an absolute fluke really. I was focused both attention and camera else were in the wood when something caught the corner of my eye. That something being this lovely Nuthatch. No sooner had I got the camera on it and it was gone again.
So, I am happy with what I have ultimately managed to come away with for a single shot but the placement in frame and composition were to be honest rubbish before the crop, and possibly still so in others opinions!
I am happy with how the crop has ended up though based on what I had t play with so in that respect I am not against critique regarding the crop there is ultimately little I can do in that regard. The action so to speak was all in the top right so everything that has gone was just 'noise' and definitely does distract from the Nuthatch.
I would appreciate and happily take any critique and feedback regarding the processing though as I can use that should I chance upon another sometime down the line and with more time to frame better and indeed just in general.
Settings, again probably far from optimal but working with what I had and with no time to pause and consider before the Nuthatch was gone again.
