Correct! Male Hairy Woodpecker.
Bill,
Nice Ruby Throat Male, it looks like natural light too. Good pose, head angle and background. The crop is a bit tight maybe.
Lovely image overall. The focuson the head and gorget are good, the wing and body are a tad underexposed(hence the noise), a touch of fill flash could help.
The reds on the gorget may be a little hot, you might pull out more detail if you selectively desaturate the reds a little

Amazing shot!

Joel; thx for your c&c...you're correct it is natural light. Your input is appreciated.

Bill,
This is one I did 2 years ago using a 40D, 70-200 2.8L and [img]/cfs-file.ashx/__key/CommunityServer.Components.UserFiles/00.00.00.32.28/IMG_5F00_9619.jpg[/img]3 flashes....I was just trying to learn how to synchronize the flashes and use them to stop axtion so I didn't concentrate on the background....since that time I haven't really been able to get back to work on hummingbirds...they are fascinating subjects.
thank you guys for all the compliment, I really appreciated.
Bill, really nice picture!
