A young Great Spotted Woodpecker taken from the hide out in my yard.
It's wonderful to watch these beautiful birds, especially when they're less than 10 feet away :smile:

A nicely framed shot of this little one Geoff, the rain drops add a bit of atmosphere too, but I feel the tree stump is a little over sharpened. Other than that, a nice Welsh image(RAIN)! Lol.

Paul Rosser. :wavey:

Would echo Pauls comments, but would also include the GSW, would just ease off a tad. As am away at present and viewing on the MacBook pro, it might also be a bit 'bright' (?), but will look again when back next week.

Looks good to me. Sharpening amount is quite subjective, unless artefacts are obvious and I can't see any.
