Hairy Woodpecker by Ginny Salus

July 2024 - Hairy Woodpecker

About the Image(s)

Some of the woodpeckers were within the range of my lens. This little on was, the tree branches were a little intrusive!. He looks different than the Hairy Woodpecker here in Florida but I suspect it is the weather and breeding season.

Ginny - You captured this little bird very nicely. If it was my image I might consider a crop to eliminate some of the distractions in the top of the frame putting more emphasis on the woodpecker. The upper part of the frame doesn't add anything to the image and may actually distract from the main subject. I love the image, you have shown the beauty of the bird.   Posted: 07/04/2024 16:47:47

Ginny, I agree with Barbara, a very nice image that IMO would benefit from a crop from the top.   Posted: 07/05/2024 20:29:22
