Great close up and nice angle! I think your choice of aperture and ISO is really good. Focus and sharpness are also spot on and so is DOF. Nice work!

Crazy shot you've got here! I have to ask though, how did you manage it? The clarity in the photo is great! Colors are pretty with the red, orange, and brown blend. Great work :)

    Thank you so very much! He was about four feet away and I was using a 300mm lens.

This is awesome the way you too this one so close up. The way he shows up against the background is great. the lighting, focus and overall impact are all excellent. Good luck in the contest.

WOW! What a great photo. I love it. How did you get that close to this bird? Your focal point is great, nice and sharp. Love all the detail and the blurred background really makes him stand out. Great shot!!

What a beautiful picture. The colour and contrast are spot on, and the bird is stunning. Very well done to get such a good picture of it.

Does it really have a red belly? Very intense photo of this darling bird. I love the detail in it's head. Good luck in the contest and thanks for sharing. Blessings, Keri

    Thank you so very much for a good review and high score! There is a little strip of red on each side just under the wings but not much.

    He is very cute and the high score is well deserved :)

What a great shot

I always look at eyes in pictures of people and animals. In this picture the eyes are perfect...great color and the always pleasant catch light.

I love the texture of the fur (for lack of the right term)...I love the color of it's head and how it goes from red to orange then to the beak.

Great exposure, color, lighting, shallow DOF/focus...all very nice

Brilliant photo! I think it's the expression on the face of the bird which makes it for me. Beautifully framed, colored and presented. Well done! I love it!

Good closeup of the Woodpecker, the focus, composition and colors are great. Like the way you have cropped so just the attention is on the head and beak.
