the angle taken in this works well and it looks as if it does not know you were taking this[always good for wildlife i feel] not completely 100% about the sky color but takes nothing away from the image...Brian

Such a beautiful find, Paul. I like how you have showcased this red head woodpecker against the blue-clouded sky. He is really standing out. Great angle, focus, and lighting. Nice long distance shot.

What a fine capture! 11. The colours create exciting worlds that let the viewer's mind wander freely. The bird keeps the eye riveted on it, making the photo feel alive. Well done. This deserves a six. Sorry, I don't have any left.
