Salut Gregory

Félicitation pour ce superbe pic. Le cadrage est intéressant avec l'arbre a gauche. Le BG flou met en évidence ce bel oiseau.

Merci

Beautiful sharp image and simple composition. I like the shallow DOF. He doesn't look bothered by the cold! I hope you have thawed.

Attractive woodpecker in a classic pose. Everything looks good, well worth a dip in the snow.

Hello Greg,

I am running behind in my critiques and have decided to expedite the process by this method, once again.

However, I did wish to give a well deserved smiley for this wonderful posting.

Appreciate your braving the elements for this wonderful photo!

Thank you, for your understanding.

Hi Greg,
An excellent shot! Perfect composition and framing. The exposure looks great, and this has given very beautiful saturated colors. The detail is very sharp, and your control on the DOF was perfect. He really stands out well from that nice OOF backround of contrasting colors.

Hi Gregory,
just perfect, what a wonderful sharp shot, I like it very much. It's such a shy bird and you could capture him so close and pretty, thanks for sharing

I have only ever seen these in pictures, since we don't have them here in the northwest, but in my opinion this is the most beautiful of the NA woodpecker species. I have always wondered why they called them 'red bellied' when red is never visible on the belly in any of the pictures I have seen. Why not 'white faced', since 'red headed' is already taken? LOL!
Wonderful image, Gregory!

Hi Greg,
You have some fantastic shots in your gallery. This is beautiful, I guess a classic woodpecker pose. The colours are excellent, exposure spot-on. A clever composition also, I would have been tempted to crop from the left to the edge of the tree trunk, I probably wouldn't even have considered doing this. A lesson learnt today.
Cheers,
Adrian
