Jack, Excellent shot, perhaps a little shadow/highlight adjustment and sharpening in PS would have would have made this shot. Never seen a woodpecker myself, will have to get out more.

Cheers

Hi Jack,

Doesn't quite work for me...sorry :frown: I find the image looks tilted (I'm sure it's not) and it looks an uncomfortable pose. When you say unaltered, does that mean you haven;t processed it at all ? It looks quite soft on my monitor and a bit more Processing may sort help with this. You've also done a good job with the whites, but the blacks are a bit lost on my monitor. Sorry these comments are a bit negative, but I can only tell you what I am seeing :wink:

Cheers :toast:
