[Shadowman]

Nice effort, lucky you. Could use a bit more contrast and chromatic aberration adjustment.

nice shot Jim - worth having, what a great bird !

Good composition but I think too much zoomed for the lens of it?? Just a thought. At least your shot is better than the blob blur that I projected on as of late...I need practice on birdies...

[Ziggy]

Thanks all for the feedback. Pushed this one too far.

This is a very difficult to capture. Stay high in the trees and if they see you they fly.

Jim - I'd be happy with that one too. They're great birds, tough to get, and you did very well here, in my estimation.

I've never seen a woodpecker like that around here. Very neat shot!
