Red-bellied Woodpecker

This was taken last week at Ojibway Nature Center in Windsor. This was a set up. There was no room to move back due to a wall being there. All C&Cs are welcome and appreciated.

Easily the best image of this species I've seen in quite some time. Well lit and perfectly posed subject. Background colors are sublime. Nicely sized and texturally interesting perch.

You nailed it. Beautiful exposure and Background. The perch is large But it works well for me. excellent image.

Jim the IQ on this is great.

I think the angle of the bird is perfect allowing you to get it sharp from bill to tail.
Well done
