Here's a Mrs. Streak-throated Woodpecker.
Lighting conditions were nothing great shooting under the thick forest canopy, and shooting from from a jeep with 9 other moving people didnt help either
Nikon D3S
Nikkor 600mm F4 VR
1/640sec, F4, ISO-1600, handheld
Nice image Angad,
the details on the bird are nice, that eye is truly special
Handholding that monster lens with the folks moving in the vehicle , i have to say this is a good output
Like the nice BG
I like the BG, tree, sharpness of the bird. I do wish it had looked the other way, towards the open space. I'd also darken the blacks along the right edge as there seems to be something OOF that was in front of the tree.
I think this would be a terrific shot if you cropped tighter . There is too much space left and top.
You have a nice BG as well.
Thanks for showing me a new species,
Gail
