Female Magellanic Woodpecker

Well, probably not the best HA, but here goes another one from the same day of the male image, now the female, not an easy target at all as she is usually too high... hope you like it.

I really like the job on the blacks. Very nice. Lots of detail. Too bad light came from the off side. Even though the bird is looking to our left I think a bit of a crop on that side would work also. Dave

Great subject, I just love Woodpeckers. Beautiful colours. Good detail in the blacks. The only thing I would do different is have her up in the frame a little? I will now look for your male post. I would like to see more Woodpecker species if you have them?

No not he best HA but that is one impressive beak, I think the OOF tree trunk is a little to prominent in the frame and competes with the bird for attention.

Thanks for the suggestions and comments guys, here´s a little something I did with some images from this trip. Enjoy.

Very nice video Ramon. It looks like a lovely part of the World and I hope you are able to make the most of it. Parts ofthe land remind me a bit of the British Columbia rain forest and parts look very unigue. Dave
