Piliated Woodpecker ~ High Key

[Jim Fenton]

Not quoite sure if you can call an image "high key" if there os something other than what in the image, but what the heck :)

Sanibel Florida on a cloudy afternoon and backlit.

Jim:

Good looking male here. Love the tongue. Sharp, well exposed.
Looks like the head may be a degree or two away, but very close.

I didn't know you were an advanced Nikon tester. I've been looking forward to the 'new D700' :)

Excellent sharpness and composition. I thought high-key means that the entire image is almost white. I don't think you could call this high-key.:confused: Were you at Sanibel recently? Is there a lot of activity there?

[Jim Fenton]

Randy...the "s" was simply a slip :)

Susan....Ding has been utterly dead with thousands of dead fish up to 3' everywhere.

Cool Jim were these the ones that were hanging in the fishing pier lot ??

Excellent detail and exposure in this image. Good composition and the high key sky really sets this off nicely. Well done Jim.
