Ok... I just realized that 3+ years ago this was among my selections in the "Pick your fav image from the person above you" side challenge. This week I had the realization that "picking a favorite" should have included a comment about why. So I've been back over the last 1600+ posts to find my choices and make amends for my omission.

Although it seems you've not been active here for a while, here's my belated comment:

I'm really glad that I took the time to go back and see my earlier choices. This remains as one of my favorites and the technique is an intriguing one. I may be inspired to give it a shot soon. This exercise of mine (returning to view an image after several years) confirms my appreciation of your photo.

Love the softness of the texture and color. I'd be happy to have this mounted on a wall in my home.

Looks like it must be a part of a much larger image, that was cropped down for this tiny part? I like it, except for the extreme pixelation of the edges. If it was smoothed out, I could see this doing very well.

Almost looks like a carving. Very nice detail, contrast, and textures.

A bit oversharpened but a good nature shot showing the nuthatch in it's environment and classic "upside down" pose.

The white vignette is somewhat overpowering for my tastes. Otherwise I do like the color scheme chosen.
