Well Greg, Peter is very attractive. However there are two point I'd like to raise;
1. I had to travel 8,000km to see my 1st woodpecker in Singapore (don't get them in Oz)
2. I live in a unit (appartment)in a city, so I don't have a yard. The common birds that I see regular are house sparrow, blackbird, rock dove and spotted turtle dove. Though I do get rainbow lorikeets every now an then.
The point is, appreciate what you have. I'm sure there are many other TN's in the same situation.
Anyway its a good shot, have you tried getting a portrait or of them drilling a hole?
cheers
Chris

Hi Greg,
For a shot at high noon, you certainly must have some well shaded area to shoot. The light here is soft and beautiful. Amazing colors and detail in the plumage. As usual, your comp. and framing look great. Great OOF backround.

Hi Greg,
Another great woodpecker shot. Great texture and detail on the tree trunk. Moist wood always looks better than the dry stuff. I find this shot a tad under-exposed however.

Hi Greg

Another splendid shot of this very beautiful woodpecker!
This time a different POV, one that gives us the chance to see the back of this cute bird - i really like that small red spot from the back of its head...it gives a very nice contrast with all the other feathers.
The rest...is impecable again, just like all your other posts :)

Cheers and have a great weekend!

Hi Gregory,
it's such a wonderful woodpacker - I love all the spots on the feathers.
Also excellent sharpness - I wonder how you came so close.
I enjoyed looking, thanks and greetings

Gregory, another trademark shot: excellent bg, great composition, sharpness and saturation.

I like your notes too. They have both a personal touch and supply useful technical information.

Well done.

Gregory,
As I just said...no problem in this portfolio!
Nice portrait of Peter. I think he's a real pro...doing the catwalk and stuff!
