Hi Paul

A lovely shot of this woodpecker. The context is really good as is the POV.

Sounds like a great day of photography Paul.
Love the way he is hanging on. DOF lovely, colour and detail great.
Reet? is that reeds that we would know it as, stem of tall grasses. Is he peeling the outer skin off?
Wonderful behavior image

Lucky you to see him - well captured Paul. He's nice and sharp, and so are the colours.

Hi Paul,
It was a friendly woodpecker, lucky he didn't fly away while you changed your lens. Nice catch, I liked the composition. TFS

Ha Paul,

ik zie dat ik nog wat heb in te halen
door PC problemen heb ik de laatste 5 dagen niet op TN en TE kunnen kijken
Dit lijkt mij een jong van de grote bonte specht
Perfecte scherpte, kleuren, compo, pose, POV en DOF

Halo Paul,

In eerste instantie mijn excuses voor het veel te late antwoord op jou kloonwerk aangaande mijn "Sedge Warbler" foto.
Was gewoon ff niet goed bij de les :) en ben het daarom helemaal vergeten.
Vind het een hele goede poging, maar wel goed zichtbaar dat er gekloond is.
Het gekke is ook dat ik, nu jij het buiten het focusveld vallende riet hebt weggehaald, het gedeelte onderin de foto te leeg vind.
Komt waarschijnlijk omdat ik de foto niet anders gezien heb als met dat gedeelte in beeld.
Wil je bij deze bedanken en misschien dat ik in de toekomst ook zelf nog wel eens een poging ga onernemen.

As it comes to this image, a very nice surprise indeed if you are not expecting to see a bird this close when photographing macro.
Lovely image with excellent sharpness and exposure.
Wonderful color contrast between the red spot on his head and the green color tones in the BG.
Never seen a woodpecker on reet before. I suppose he was looking out for some dinner :)
Sorry, but I'm out of smilies.
Best regards and have a nice weekend, Harry

A really nice image of this spotted woodpecker. The exposure really turned out nice on this one Paul. :)

Hi Paul,
Good compo, nice colours, excellent sharpness.
Minor nit;: lacks a bit of detail in the black...
