My little Downy Woodpeckers have been frequent visitors lately since the snow arrived. They're usually such perky little birds but I'd have to say this guy looks like he's a little out of sorts today! :)
Great capture and framing . . . he could be on a card! I'm so jealous of these shots, our woodpecker still eludes me! I did manage to get some great shots of our deer this morning that I'll be posting tonight!
@starfisher@estelle@stepheesue@kezzam@robv Thank you for the nice comments! This little Downy Woodpecker sat there right outside my window all morning making it so easy for me to snap his picture dozens of times. He gets all the credit for this picture for being so darn cute! :)
@barbsmith Thank you Barb! Yes, I used Picnik....they have several holiday frames available! I absolutely love Picnik! I do most of my editing in Lightroom 3 but Picnik is just awesome for those little extra touches and it's soooo easy to use! If you haven't used it you should really try it.
I really like this shot. The woodpecker looks great but I am also impressed with the realistic color of the birch. Getting all of the whites right is a challenge.
Such a wonderful picture. They are usually so busy feeding at my feeders that it's hard to get a "face" shot. Great job, and I love the focus on him too.
