Great Spotted Woodpecker

Gallery: Regional: UKNPPosted December 20, 2010163 views4 comments

Taken from a hide near Redditch earlier in the year this image has been cropped slightly but has no other PP at all. I was attempting and failing to get the flight shot hence the high ISO.

5D MK II - 500 f4 - ISO 640 - 1/6400 - f5.6 - Manfrotto 393 head bolted to the window ledge of the hide.

A nice image Bob, just a shame we can't see all the bird. It's not always possible though!

I like the image Bob. Beautiful BG too. Frequently with GSW you don't get the whole bird but I don't think that this necesarily detracts from the image.

I'd be inclined to lift the mids a little ,nice BG but for me wrong tree stump/branch.
