My Take on the "Black-backed Woodpecker"

Excellent shots. Nice detail even in the black area.

Way to go!

Nice ones Teddy!

First one is great...Fill Flash would of brought out details on those blacks....

Congrats on your new species!

Thanks Marc; I have a hard enough time figuring out the camera; let alone playing with flash too....:p

I think the blacks look perfect in that first shot, great details in the wings and colors just as I remember them...no fill needed

I too saw how far the bird was for the second shot - I can't believe how the 500mm lens pulled it in so nice.

Thanks Dan; I thought they looked pretty good...

Very nice images. I really like the second shot.

Very nice shots of the Black-backed Woody, I would love to see one let alone get great shots like these.
