Male Flicker Topsid
This is one of the last in the series of the flicker images taken three weeks ago. He was chasing the european starlings and I was able to capture him in a low flight pose.

All comments are appreciated. Thanks.
Judy, another great shot, blurred wings work for me in this shot.
Fantastic flight image, Judy Lynn, made even better by the colorful background. This series was a treat, thanks for sharing it. Wish it had a happy ending for the flickers.
Judy;
Very nice dorsal display with flared primaries, nice that there is no merge of the bill/wing.
In a perfect world, I would prefer an all green background, but he is well below the top of the tree line, and it is a very fine shot as is.

Beautiful judy, nice colours and BG..
Mind blowing. These are so difficult to get in flight. Just outstanding.
Top Marks Judy, the green BG was just in the right spot too, nice one.;)
Is that water droplets on the rhs?

Post Production: It’s ALL about what you do with the tools and not, which brand of tool you use.
nice looking bird with beautiful pose,wing position,colors!
Pretty neat pose, and great colours. I especially love the yellow shafts! I wouldn't mind seeing less room above (you could crop close to half the space above - the resulting pano-ish comp could prove to be interesting).
Surely you jest.... Love the flared wingtips, the BKGR, and the sharpness. And yes to a pano-crop.

Love this shot Judy. Nice sharp eye contact combined with a nice feel of motion... A very difficult shot to pull off. I agree with the Pano crop suggestion.
