Hallo Paul,
Wat een prachtige foto van deze Grote Bonte Specht. Mooie kleuren. De achtergrond doet iets speciaals in deze foto. Moeilijk uit te leggen, maar wel een bijzonder contrast. Erg goede scherpte en een uitstekende compositie.
Groet,
Peter

Hello Paul,
I'm glad you managed to spot this spotted Woodpecker at last!! Amazing how you caught this on the thin branch where I don't expect it stayed for long! Excellent focus, sharp details and beautiful colours. A lovely composition too. Well done!
TFS and cheers, Ulla

Hej Paul,

The bird stand out in a ice way from the BG.
Well done.
