Great Spotted Woodpecker

[Andreas Liedmann]

Hi folks ... just a simple WP with a kind of unusual POV shot showing its underside .
Hope you like it .
By knowing it is a bit tight on the RHS , I was not willing to extend the canvas as it would have been not as nice , even with the latest PS tools . ON the first look they do seem to work good , but they do leave funky traces in the removed areas . So I rather keep the shot in its original framing .

First class features and colours - I don't mind the composition - really good shot.

Looking good Andreas. It's always nice to see a GSW in a different pose and perch. f/8 worked well here. Lovely detail on the bird from bill tip to tail. The reds give a nice colour boost. Nice pose and HA. With the perch being thin, it doesn't take away the eye going directly to the bird. In fact I think it enhances it. If anything I would add some to the LHS for the bird to look into.
