Male Greater Spotted Woodpecker

[mistral105]

The male GSW from a week or so ago- red colouring on the back of his head, female doesn't have this - image 1 late evening, image 2 at 1pm so you can see the difference the quality of light makes.

Edit - reduced saturation of green as Stan suggested. - Added 3rd image - tongue flicking out.

1DX + 600mmMKII + 1.4xMKIII

Regards John

Nice set John

Re: Male Greater Spotted Woodpecker

The second is far better John but i think you could improve the first by desaturating the green background a little
