Will catch up with my comments soon.

Cropped for comp and a little extra canvas added on RHS.

Nicely done Fran. Some warm lighting and nice comp. Interesting to see a woody in Landscape rotation and it makes you want to tilt your head :biggrin:

Nice to see you at the weekend.

Indeed it is very nice... the light has that JR white wall look, certainly is different to see one in this orientation...

I like this one. The thin perch gives a really good view of the bird and the light is very nice too.

They do look good like this. I reckon the red underbits are a bit pale. Maybe we're feeding ours too well !! :biggrin:
Nice one.

Lovely shot.

I like it being on a different to the usual perch, light is superb too, very nice indeed.

Nice to see one horizontal, very nice shot, no nits.

It makes a welcome change Fran to see the bird as is as apposed to the classic shot. :toast:

It is a very refreshing change to see a woodpecker like this and I think you've captured some very nice feather detail too. A very pleasing image.
