I did not like the background in this one, so it's been heavily cropped.

The Red Bellied woodpecker in the lilac bush on a snowy day, by the feeders.

Sandi - It's too bad that birds don't consider the backdrop for these photo ops; it makes it so much harder for the photographer! This is very well done. What glass did you use for this shot? Thad

It's nice that you caught it. It's difficult shooting birds. Beautiful little bird.

I think the vertical crop suits the bird's position perfectly.

And I find a 90 degree clockwise rotation rather neat and easier to study, with this tight cropping. Something you can't often do.
It is a bit more dynamic as presented, but well worth viewing both ways.

A neat close-up, Sandi. The woodpecker is nicely framed by the tree branches & I like the vertical presentation. Very well done.

Nice job with this woodpecker. Love to see your subjects on
natural objects. It takes a little more patience, but the result
is well worth the effort. Nicely done.
