It was a shame that this female woodpecker was so near the edge of the frame but that's wildlife for you! You can't position birds exactly where you want them. I just liked the detail in her wings.
If you are really worried about where she is, you could crop the photo some. However, I think this tells the story of her flying away and not wanting her photo taken. Beautiful detail on her wings.
It's still a great capture! By the way what did you think of the winning photo for the Countryfile calendar? I thought it was good but didn't like that a wildlife picture had been recreated in a studio! Didn't think it should have won for that reason
@busylady I agree which is one reason why I am not bothering to join the Camera Club again this year. There's just too many people doing too much photoshop!
