hi there,

A very good subject to shoot...but again like lastime you should follow it up with a good note too...
i have done a workshop for you hope you like it.

cropped slightly on the tree sharpened a bit more using smart sharpen..increased saturation a wee bit to enhance the gold and then applied neat image filter to get rid of the noise in the background...the neat image filter is a free download to get rid of the noise which most digital camera images have after sharpening.....you can download it from the net at www.neatimage.com.

Hi Dev,

A good capture!.
I like the composition and colors, the picture is little on the softer side!

Hi Devendra,
that's a wonderful bird, realy with golden feathers. It must be amazing to see this one with the own eyes, woodpackers are so shy here in Germany and we don't have such a one.
Thanks for the shot, bye
