Hi Cecilia,
Great shot of this beautiful bird. Excellent framing, Great detail and colours, DOF is on the mark. I think it's strange that this bird has such a minor patch of red on it's belly, but a bright red crown and nape and yet it's called the Red-Bellied Woodpecker. Great shot and good note.
Regards,
Adrian

great shot. composition, DOF, colours.
Cheers, R.
