Now when I say "Jump"
Its good to laugh and this made me smile.

Caught this Red-headed Woodpecker on the hop.

From vehicle window on bean bag 1D3 canon 800mm f/6.3 1/1600sec ISO400 800mm RAW to lightroom cropped then resized PS4 for web.

Critique Advice Comment as always most welcomed

Thanks for looking.

A really nice grab shot, it has its problems tho’ the foreground branch and general softness in the woodpecker, but even so, it would be a shot I would keep.

Keep at it, you’re really getting there, and developing a good eye for an image.

Great shot. It's a pity about the brench in front of the bird.

Nice shot, Barry. But as said, it is a pity that the branch is in front of the bird.

Well I couldn't agree more but my level of expertise keeps me as is so I'm restricted.

Others aren't and John kindly did a great job removing the offending branch for me as shown below, Thanks John.
