Tabatha, this is one of my favorite birds to photograph. They are so colorful and photogenic. You done a fine job of this one. Here in San Angelo we have many of the Golden-fronted Woodpeckers. Again, congratulations on a great close-up image. Bob Zeller

Hi Tab,

A beautiful picture of this woodpecker being a perfect model. I love the pose!!! Wonderful colors in this portrait - the little yellow patch above the beak is so cute. Excellent details of the face, eye, wings and plummage. The background is superb really setting him off.

You are one of the lucky ones...a good eye..and in the right place at the right time....and of course having a great camera and lens didn't hurt ya! Fine image...Very clearly done with retaining the colours to give it impact...so much of your work really stands out in this way...Sometimes I forget you are here...you have to jolt me every so often:-)

A well composed portrait with sharp focus and immaculate details.
The eye in particular is well captured.
