Male Juvenle Green Woodpecker+repost+repost
Couldn’t resist having another shot at the woodpecker chick before they fledged, was quite surprised when this male juvenile popped his head out, just getting the black moustache with the red center,normally just the female chick has her head out shouting when I walk past

Canon 20d,300mm f4 IS lens,ISO 400,1/40th sec,f6.3
Processed CS3

Nice capture - but I think it has a green cast?

Yes Think your right Tom about the the green cast,this should be better :biggrin:

Somewhere between the two Barry.
The re-post has a bit too much magenta,most evident on the trees bark.
The green cast may possibly even be caused by the surrounding green folliage.

EDIT In fact having had a second look the re-post looks pretty good.

Hi Barrie nice capture. I am not quite sure about the second posting either being true colour on my screen. :toast:

Lovely shot.
Somewhere between the two, colour-wise, I would say. The first post looks better to me. Second is way too magenta.
