Hi Paul, I like the shot alot. Nut Hatches just don't seem to stay still for very long. Even when perched they seem to constantly be twitching.
I know everyone's got a feeling about the white sky, which there was nothing you could do about in camera. Maybe a selection on just the white sky portion in photoshop and then a curves adjustment to bring it down to some level of gray...?
