Title: Northern flicker
Post by: Derek1945 on October 17, 2017, 04:27:16

I have set up a wooden prop on my back deck to attract and photograph Stella Jays and this beautiful Northern flicker stopped by.
Comments and critique are welcomed.

I agree - beautiful bird!  Very nicely photographed with light and detail where you want it and nothing distracting in the background.  On my screen the bird seems just a shade dark - maybe it could be lightened by (say) 1/3 stop?  On the other hand, the composition is helped by the placement of the bird's head against the lighter patch in the background.

Cheers,  John

Thanks for your comments John, I agree it could be lightened up a bit.
