He makes me smile, too. :-) @Bonnie: This bird seems to prefer this orientation. When he flies back to a nearby tree, it's always a certain, dead, slanted tree. He then runs up the side of it, like a squirrel, and then cracks the nut open, eats it, and then returns for another one. This branch is one that I attached to the arm of the feeder because it is more picturesque than the iron arm. :-) It is, indeed, pointing towards the feeder. This guy lands at the top of the branch, walks down the slope, then jumps off onto the feeder. Rarely does he fly directly to the feeder. The green comes from a stand of trees that are some 50 feet away, making the perfect background. @Anita, thanks! He makes me smile, too. :-)

You've proven it with this wonderful image. I like the uniqueness of the positioning--it's rare I see a bird perched on a vertical branch. I like the balancing act! (Beautiful shade of green background, too! Wow.) Paul, the only rule of photography is that there are no rules.

It makes me smile. And, of course, a thoughtful and valuable photo tip to go with it. That green background is just delicious. Congratulations and thanks. What a lovely shot. It makes me smile.
