Golden-fronted Woodpecker male
This Golden-fronted Woodpecker was nine feet from camera.
The camera was on a tripod with remote cable.
Nikon D90, 1/4000 sec. at f / 7.1, ISO 400, 420 mm.
Lens 50-500mm
There was no crop, LR to adjust light and contrast.
All C & C greatly appreciated.
Just trying to improve.
Thanks in advance for looking and any reply.

I love this shot, the position allows you to see the various markings all along the body, colors are vivid and the perch is great!
-
beautiful colors and detail captured with the use of remote and tripod. Being so close, I wonder if you had enough light to stop down a little more for DOF and get a little more tail detail. Just wondering, but the eye capture takes me right there and not much lost with the tail OOF anyway. Maybe a little off the bottom would emphasize the upper part of the bird more, IMHO.

Very nice! I agree that a little more DOF would have been good. You don't need 1/4000 for the SS for this shot, but you may have been hoping to catch it flying, in which case it was a good choice. Nice color -- I think this is one where a very judicious sharpening of the JPEG could work well.
You might consider cropping from the bottom about halfway to the tail, and adding a little canvas on the left. The bird is a little uncomfortably pushed into the UL corner.

Nice! And brighter, too. I didn't notice how dark the OP was, but this is much better! It can be easy to overlook brightness issues on the screen.

Much better on the RP. I thought the original was dark as well.

You had a nice image and really made it better, these are the things I am trying to learn also.....thanks for the RP.

I don't know how you were so close, but fine work and sharp where it needs to be......

I use a CamRanger with PT Hub on my tripod. With that I can be anywhere with 150 feet and control my camera from a tablet, laptop, or desk top.
Hope this help

thanks for the tips on the hub and camranger, looks like a great tool to get closer!
