Red-bellied Woodpecker Portrait.

[Karl Egressy]

Having fun with head shots.
I removed some food morsels from the beak.
Looks like my les was front focusing, (Cold weather?) so I gave an extra round of sharpening to the head.
Thanks for looking.

Nice breast feather detail with the bird well positioned in the image. I think you stopped a little too soon with the bill clean-up.

[Sidharth Kodikal]

Lovely sharpness and details, Karl. I really like your comp too. I'd reduce the reds a bit and run NR on the bg.

Karl you have certainly got some super detail and it looks pin sharp.

Hi Karl. I do like the raised head looking up, and you have brought out excellent detail. I agree with Sid, that running some NR on the BG wont harm.

[Holger Leyrer]

Wonderful Portrait. Love the details and colors.
Only the BG (I agree with Sid and Stuart)

[Jim Crosswell]

Excellent image Karl. I like the details, sharpness, composition and winter BG.

Great pose and feather detail in this nice portrait Karl. The exposure and color looks great. Well done.
