Wow! Superb eye clarity! Your central composition is engaging and I think your low perspective aiding in your composition. A good exposure and white balance. Your focus is sharp with excellent details. This is very nice work and thanks for sharing.

Excellent capture of this impressive bird and thank you for your informative notes accompanying this. I like the angle you used for this, showing his profile. Great lighting and focus showing excellent clarity and detail in his markings. Lovely composition. Suzanne

Comment from Jo Calderbank


a great capture of the woodpecker, good eye clarity, like his little red hair! the bird stands out clear and defined against the back ground, good work, I cant get near the woodpeckers in my garden to quick for me.

What a neat looking bird you have captured here my friend! Lovely colors with good visual impact.
Very nice details and sharp focus. Lighting and exposure are well controlled. Good center of interest and story telling ability. Very good technique and technical excellence.

Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
What a fine close up with EXCELLENT eye Clarity and fine white balance Control on the red in the bright sun light.
Love the up close view. I can never get this close to this bird. As Soon as he hears a noise...he hides inside the hole of the palm tree.
Really nice bird Photography Gracie Lu!

What a super close-up shot! Avibrat picture! You have framed it well. The light and shadows, colours and the composition have worked out well. Good effort!

Nice stopped action shot!
Superb up close & very personal!

Sharply focused.
Fine facial features & gentle textures.
Is there any food treat?

Light reflection then bounced at noontime.
Red is always striking as ever!
