Hallo Michel
This is a sharp and really striking capture and you photographed it with great skill. For me the greatest attraction is the very tiny patch of red on the birds head, and the white line at the bottom of the eye. A really beautiful image of dainty bird. Well managed exposure of the black as well as the white feathers. Thanks for sharing this lovely image. Best regards.

Bonjour Michel,
Des couleurs de grande finesse et un excellent cadrage pour cette image de pic. Cela doit être un jeune oiseau, ou je me trompe? J'aime beaucoup aussi le bel arrière-plan qui met l'oiseau en valeur.
Une belle journée

Hello Michel,
A wonderful image of this male Downy Woodpecker. The detail, as you stated in a B&W subject may be hard to get sometimes, but this particular time you nailed it!! Perfectly composed with beautiful soft colors and a pleasing BG. Great work!!

Hello Michel,
a very good picture of your Downy Woodpecker, it could almost be related to our tree-toed woodpecker.
The composition are very nice with a fine POV.
You managed to exposure this well, not easy with B/W birds.
Well done.
Have a nice Weekend

Hi Michel,
really a stunning shot with a pleasant bluish blurry background. The woody is so sharp and clear, the details of the feathers is well seen. I like its special pose, looking at the viewer.
Well presented in splendid composition.
