Olive Woodpecker

[Richard Flack]

Olive woodpecker / Umdoni Forest, KwaZulu Natal, South Africa
Not the easiest woodpecker to get in good light and without obstructions. This is my best effort to date.
I did not have chance to change my settings to a higher ISO and lower fstop, but somehow at 1/100s, one of the frames came out fairly sharp.
ISO 800 / 1/100 / -0.3 / f6.3
Look forward to your comments...

Forgot to add PP: Sharpened for web, NR to BG, reduced vibrancy of background, medium crop
