So here is another shot of the Red Bellied Woodpecker, I actually prefer this one to the other post because of the heads position, that and the wind caught the feathers. Hope you like, see you all around.

FÉLICITATIONS!!

Cette prise est parfaite. La pose de l'oiseau à la recherche de nourriture est bien et la qualité de l'image est superbe. J'aime bien l'éclat de la huppe rouge flamboyante et le Bg propre qui fait bien ressortir le sujet et les détails dans le plumage.

Bonjour Gregory,
