Salut Laurent,
ces pics sont très souvent à terre, j'en ai vu souvent en Zélande, ils ne sont pas extremement farouches mais se confondent dans l'herbe et on les voit souvent décoller a peine à 3 mètres, la photo n'est pas si mal avec un focus correct sur la tête, moi je dis bien joué m'sieur
amicalement,
Pat

Hi Laurent,
It is very difficult to shot this birds. They are so shy and fast and difficult to spot when they are on the ground (grass). I also have one in my gallery that is on the ground eating ants. Good compo and pov and a great wildlife shot of this male.

Bonsoir Laurent,
Of course it was a "must" to make this picture and post here.
This one makes honor to its name, the subtle green hues of ots feathers are so beautiful.
You were so lucky to be able to get the camera ready to make this shot.
It seems today is the woodpeckers afternoon, I already saw a yellow specie just before yours.
Felicitacions et merci du partager.
Mes amities,
JM

Bonsoir Laurent,
Celui là m'a échappé quelques fois la semaine dernière en Zelande, d'ailleur, je ne lui parle plus, très bien vu de ta part, manque peut-être un peu de profondeur mais la tête est bien nette et dans ces cas là on fait ce qu'on peut, j'en sais quelque chose
amicalement

Hi Laurent.
Don't worry. Picture is very good considering the subject distance and absence of teleconverter. I know what I say. Excellent scene, beautiful bird and attractive its pose, perfect composition. I like wonderful lighting and colours. Details of the shot are excellent. May be bird image is not crisp sharp but it is not a point at all. Bravo and TFS.

Hi Laurent,
I recently took a similar shot to this of a Green Woodpecker that flew into the grass a few metres away... it's not as good as this though!
+++ The POV is top-class and leaves enough BG to be effectively blurred causing the woodpecker to stand out.
Great contrast, lighting and exposure.
Gorgeous colours.
--- Nothing :D
Well done my friend,
Joe

Congrats my friend, I wish it´s mine. ;-))
I know the green woodpecker very good. But I have no shot! :-( What a difficult bird.....
Laurent, this is a great shot. Great sharpness, POV and colours too. This is an excellent composition. Thank you.

Hello Laurent

A very good image of this species of woodpecker, I am not familiar with this one.
The colours are rich and well saturated.
The focus is sharp with very good plumage detail.
Well placed in the frame.

Bonjour Laurent
Il est très beau, et pas facile à photographier.
J'ai le même qui squate le bois derrière ma maison surtout au printemps, son tambourinement lui sert de marquage de territoire. Bravo pour la prise.
Amicalement Robi

Bonsoir Laurent,
This is a good opportunity taken well, even if the Green Woodpecker is classically captured on a tree. The quality of this shot is pretty good, despite the 10 meters distance and the composition. lighting and colours are excellent.
Merci et bien weekend,
Amicalement,
Ivan
