Dear Ralf!
Wonderful photo! Everything is perfectly controled here - starting with DOF and details which are fantastic (even the surface of tree!), that BG - delicate and blurred thanks to that bird is exposed very well, and finally - POV - natural but not easy to photograph (I believe this specimen was not "1 m above ground level").
TFS and by best regards,
Radomir

Hej Ralf,
Amazing close-up of the Woodpecker in a classic pose. This must be almost exactly its natural size? The sharp details are impressive and colours beautiful. I like the light background too.
TFS and regards, Ulla

Hi Ralf,
very impressive indeed, pin sharp detail and an excellent DOF, this is a fine piece of work and no mistake! I love the vivid red under his tail and on his head. Great Stuff.

Hello Ralf

Very nice picture of this beautiful bird. Excellent focus/dof with a well blurred background to set off the bird even more. Sharpness on the bird is very good with plenty of details in the plumage. and the eye. The colours look great and very natural. Also the composition is very good. All over a very good job you did here.

Best wishes
