Hello again all. One from my 7hr stint in the Hide on Sat. This time a young Great Spotted Woodpecker. changing from a Zoom lens to a Prime Telephoto has certainly made me think a bit more, not to mention save my camera's shutter life, lol. I was lucky to get this bird in the frame, I know it's a little tight, but I'm pleased with the position of the bird, and the sharpness, and detail. You're thoughts would be most welcome. Regards,
Paul Rosser.

A bit tight at the bottom and overall a bit big in the frame all mentioned in your descriptive text.. But I think you achieved some great detail and a nice image of a young bird..

Ps. Had one crash into my window the other day, he's doing fine now though and visits every day..

It may be a bit tight Paul but the detail is beautiful and the colour looks spot on to me

bit of a squeeze Paul, otherwise good image.

A lovely,well detail image Paul just heeds a tad more room at the bottowm of the image,brillinat deatil and I love the pose

A well taken image.

As already mentioned a tad big in the frame, but it has shown a tremendous amount of detail in the feathers.

A bit more room at the bottom to squeeze in the rest of the tail perhaps.

Great pose.

Shaun

Very nice image just a little too tight in the frame.

Nits covered - great detailed shot all the same

Just needs a tny bit on the bottom of the frame, but otherwise excellent, IMO.

Nits covered but in the circumstances you did well to squeeze in as much as you could and the detail is excellent
