Captured this Red Belly Woodpecker in the lilac bush by the feeders today.

I used zippy witht the converter, and set the ISO at 400.The image was cropped quite a bit, to get rid of some things I did not like. The clouds gave way to a sunny afternoon.

After some critical pointers (but well meant) from Les, I decided to remove "Autumn Creek".

I do appreciate your honest comments, and thank you in advance for taking the time.

A pretty face is fine but what a farmer needs is a woman that can carry a pig under each arm

This is bright and beautiful, Sandi. Your red belly doesn't have red on it either. Someone misnamed these things. LOL.

A beautiful picture of the bird, but I think that the feathers on the back of the head is without textures.Great work Sandi.

The bird is very beautiful and well focused. I agree with Christer about the back of the head beaing washed out, but it is still a very good capture.
