Flicker

This male Northern, red-shafted, Flicker captured at the local refuge.
Not as nice a specimen as Nate's, as in southern Washington we don't "plump-em up" with suet before we take their picture!

Nice comp. and perch. The image seems a little bright, but not bad.

Very nice, Craig. You caught him on a great perch, and I really like the head turn.

Beautiful capture, Craig. I really like the head turn, the detail and the perch too.

It's a very nice head turn and I like the interesting perch Craig. I also think you did a good job with DOF at this angle to get the whole bird sharp. I would like to see a little more detail in the shadows of the perch.

Very nice. Good detail and exposure on the bird. I agree with Ron that some more detail in the back of the perch might help, but it would have been a very tough exposure.

Nice pose, head-turn and blue sky.

Very nice Craig, I like your flicker best

The sidelighting works well in this shot.
