[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Red-bellied woodpecker (Melanerpes carolinus), male

“The Red-bellied Woodpecker gets its name from the small pinkish wash on its belly that is only noticeable under optimal viewing conditions” (see photo - YESSS).

Red-bellied Woodpeckers prefer to forage in deciduous trees, but they also forage on the ground.
During the winter, Red-bellied Woodpeckers are primarily seed eaters, and often they are seen frequenting feeders.

Very Beautiful Gabi!
A nice prop that this guy is on, and everything is so clear and well composed!
I can barely see that small pinkish wash on its belly mostly hidden by the shadow of the post he's holding on too.
Congratulations for this excellent shot!
Thanks for sharing,
Dave

Hi Gabi,
Outstanding shot here. I love the composition on this one. The soft light here has given some beautiful colors. The fine detail, and perfect control of the DOF, have made this an amazing photo.

Gabi, that's really nice.[

Excellent pov, sharpness and composition.

Exposure is great, so that there is no overexposure at all. I also enjoy the vivid colors upon the bird. Besides, lovely catchlight.

Congratulations.

Very nice shot of this busy woodpecker, the soft background is very complimentary. Well done Gabi. :)

Hi Gabi, this is very nice. I love the pose and the details, I wonder if a portrait format may have been better? Anyway it is still a very good shot with great lighting and details. Very well done.

Hello Gabi,
Perfect composition of this shot! I'm really amazed with the quality taking into account the zoom you had to use.
Best greetings,
Michal
