[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note [Spanish]
The Great Spotted Woodpecker is 23-26 cm long, with a 38-44 cm wingspan. The upperparts are glossy black, with white on the sides of the face and neck. A black line zigzags from the shoulder halfway across the breast (in some subspecies nearly meeting in the center), then back to the nape; a black stripe, extending from the bill, runs below the eye to meet this latter part of the zigzag line. On the shoulder is a large white patch and the flight feathers are barred with black and white. The three outer tail feathers are barred; these show when the short stiff tail is outspread, acting as a support in climbing. The underparts are dull white, the abdomen and undertail coverts crimson. The bill is slate black and the legs greenish grey...

Hello Victor,
Nice pose of Woodpecker, sharpness and clear BG also the bark of the tree have interesting texture and colour. It's superb composition.

Con las aves te transformas Víctor. Vuelves a tus fueros con esta soberbia toma con una luz tenue que te pone en el ambiente boscoso. Gran pose del ave y un enfoque preciso. Los colores espatarrantes por su belleza y el ojo bien captado. Buen fondo y el posadero es el remate a esta fotografía, ya que su textura y color son el complemento que acaba de mejorar si cabe el conjunto: enhorabuena:

Hola Vicma !
What a gorgeous picture ! I love the pose of the bird, he looks curious and attentive. I also like the composition with the tree making a nice diagonal. The details, the sharpness, the blurred BG and the POV are splendid, as well as the soft, tender colors.
Agradecidos y saludos,
Valérie.

Me matas Victor con estos picapinos, que pasada yo quiero uno también de esa guisa...
espectacular.
A ver si saco un rato y podemos charlas, ahora estoy haciendo un curso de photoshop de 7 a 10 de la noche ni te cuento como llego a casa después de levantarme a las 6 de la mañana...
Un abrazote

Hola Victor:

¿Cual es el pájaro que aun no has retratado tu con la maestria que nos tienes acostumbrados?
Esta es una bella instantánea de este picapinos con una definición y color exquisitos.
Anda que no tango ganas yo de retratar pájaros, pero cuando los tengo en mi objetivo salen volando, jejeje
Un abrazo

Hello Vicma,
Almost missed this beauty through my short vacation. Excellent natural colours and very sharp. Very pleasant diagonal composition. Impressive POV, OOF BG and DOF.
Regards,
Peter

Hallo Vicma
Everything in this image is just beautiful. The bird’s proud pose on top of the tree’s trunk is really something special. The combination of colours and patterns on its plumage is striking. The fine hairs around the facial area are also seen with great clarity, and the red patch of feathers on its head adds to the beauty of this lovely bird. Excellent photography, especially if I look at the clarity of the nails on the paws. Thanks for sharing. Best regards.
Anna

Genial captura.
Precioso encuadre y nitidez excepcional.
El tronco parece tallado por tí.
Interesante comentario.
Saludos, JL.
