A beautiful capture. The subject stands out very well against the great BG.

A very fine shot. The bird looks great on that curved perch and the background colour is very attractive with the different shades of green.

Hello Phil.

Beautiful shot of GSW and the curved tree make s all the difference and puts the woodpecker in a good composition in the image.

As Phil has said, the curved tree really adds to the image, lovely detail in the bird. :smile:

Great detail in the GSW Phil and for that reason I think it could stand a tighter crop.

I would lose a chunk off the bottom and some off the right personally.


Cheers

Cracking woodie image. The raindrop completes the picture - the pose of the bird seems to be in response to the rain.

Very nice indeed, the pose and the sweep of the perch make for a lovely balanced image...
