Hi Lois,
Fantastic timing getting the piciformes popping his peeper out of the nest hole and that blue background is awesome. :)

Hola Luis,
Pero que buena quedó la foto!
Me gusta muchísimo el hermoso cielo azul bien saturado, y el contraste que hace con los colores del ave.
Excelente la nitidez conseguida, asi como las texturas de las plumas y sus intensos colores.
Bien valió la pena la espera y paciencia para tomarla.
Felicitacione sy gracias por compartirla.
Un gran saludo,
JM

This is a nice capture Luis. It was worth the wait in the sun! : ) Do you find that you use that Sigma lens mostly at the 500mm end? How is it at the other focal lengths?

Hola Luis
Hacía tiempo que no entraba en tu galería, qué descuido! ¡Y qué sorpresa! ¡Cuántas maravillas has ido publicando que me había perdido! En particular esta graciosa pareja de pájaros carpinteros con la cabeza asomando por el agujero de la despensa, ja,ja. ¡Qué fotazos! Admiro tu paciencia y tu empeño. Las imágenes son realmente magníficas en todos los sentidos.
Felicidades y muchas gracias por aguardar junto al tronco para mostrarnos estas maravillosas criaturas.
Saludos

Hi Luis. It is the first time to see your birds, and i love them for the clarity most of us just dream about. Tripods seem a necessary think for sharpness? TFS. Murray.
