Lea - you'll have the naming police after you - Great Spotted Woodpecker

Nice comp and pose

Bit of a magenta/cyan cast happening on my monitor.

Very nice Lea

. Excellent background. I too can see the colour cast on my (calibrated) monitor - not a lot, but it is there.

The background colours may be making the image look like it has a slight cast, the bird looks fine on my calibrated monitor.

Great shot.

Difficult to call on a cast, but running it through PS the blacks show a slightly high ammount of cyan, but overall the RGB values seem pretty even.

Very nice great (

) spotted woodpecker.....
