Hi Mikael,

A great capture with good colors and sharpness,the pose is superb,maybe I am wrong but I see a bit of a red on his head,so it might be a male?

Hi Mikael, a great shot of the Great Spotted Woodpecker. I am jealous of your lens, maybe next year I will upgrade. A very fine shot with amazing detail and sharpness, perfect pov and dof. Markings and colour wonderful and great catchlight on the eye.
Lovely composition.

Salve, veramente un ottima cattura e scatto stupendo! Di una nitidezza unica, con i bianchi perfetti e leggibili al 100%.
Un saluto Pierdamiano

Precioso pájaro carpintero, con un colorido excepcional.
Son aves inquietas y desconfiadas como muestras en esta foto.
Buenos detalles y estupenda nitidez.
Saludos, JL.

Hi Mikael

Another splendid shot from you and i'm glad to hear you had a great time with Gert and Ralf. Surely we'll be seeing some more excellent shots from that trip :)
The woodpecker you captured here is lovely and presented impeccably! The angle you had here is exceptional and not only shows ts head well and in a terrific light, but also gives a perfect view of that red patch on its abdomen and tail. The colors are magnificent and vivid, the details are fantaastic and the DOF is spot-on.
Wonderful work!!!

Bravo and TFS
Horia

Hej Micke,
a great picture of "hacke", it's well composed with good Pose and POV.
Exposure and sharpness are spot on.
Very good DOF too, the bird standout well.
Mycket fin bild.
Ralf en gärdsmyg och du en större hackespett,
vad ska jag nu lägga ut ;-) en micke tit;-))))
