Hello Cecilia,
A classic woodpecker shot carried out with good sharpness, lighting, colors and composition set against a fine bokeh. I like the way the four toes of this Downey woodpecker show so well.

Hi Cecilia

Yet another terrific bird shot from you! :)
I'm impressed with the details you manage to get here, considerring that you've used a focal length of only 280mm. I've seen a lot of close-ups like this one but taken usually between 400-500mm, fact that makes yours even more excellent.
A certain thing attracted my attention here especially, a thing that is usually not so well seen: the amazing grip they have on the tree bark, grip that enables them to stand like that. The fingers and talons are perfectly visible here!
Great work!

Bravo and TFS
