[QUOTE=Joel Eade;82661]Can't resist posting another image of the long awaited Pileated Woodpecker
Congratulations Joel - super shot of a rare bird. The details in the dark feathers are very nice - any special post processing or was the flash-fill enough to bring these out? I think I've seen these in the woods once or twice - and always rapidly departing the scene.
Light looks great on the Bluejay, Nick
sedwards679, it is not easy to expose those shiny black birds right. I would maybe crop a little more
