Great spotted Woodpecker

[crook and churn]

I have been baiting a tree with (expensive) Brazil nuts for the past fortnight, and finally got a chance to take some photos of the Woodpecker that has been visiting.
I actually took about 80 shots, but they were all virtually the same. I guess once the Woodpecker is in position, he just eats.
I have posted a couple of photos and both exposures have been adjusted slightly in photo elements. I am not sure which I prefer (or which is more technically correct),but other peoples opinion would be welcome,
cheers,
John.

Re: Great spotted Woodpecker

Well done excellent shots
Might be worth checking the white balence as they both seem to have a sloight magenta cast

Very well done great shots of a beatiful bird, your patience paid of, not much to choose between the frames you have posted (not sure thats correct with digital) maybe prefer #1 just a bit.

Cheers Stan,
I cannot see the magneta cast, But I have never callibrated my monitor, so I would be interested if anyone else sees this. (Then I will be asking for advise on how to calibrate)!

Interesting - cos I got a new monitor (poundland) and I cant see a colour cast.

Re: Great spotted Woodpecker

Me thinks that he's going to be coming back through out the winter now. Better buy some more nuts.
