G.S Woodpecker
Just a woody but I liked the light and the catkins on this one. Long way off . Window job.
Usual setup.

Hi John. I was just about to say it looked a little soft, lol. Nice image, I like the Catkins too.

Paul. :wavey:

You're forgiven, John, a senior moment, eh? :biggrin: :wink: The living catkins aginst the dead wood adds a touch of incongruity which I find appealing. Oh yes and the woodpecker has a quizzical expression which amuses me. Very nice indeed.

Hi John

Love the catkins in the image - especially like the way they go from sharp to OOF!

Very nice. I love the way the bird is turned slightly towards you and the setting with the catkins and old weathered perch is excellent. :toast:
