[Leica] IMG: Woodpecker Comparison

[Jim Nichols]

I was puzzled by the line separating black and white areas in my 
woodpecker photo posted yesterday.  After pondering it over night, I 
went back four years for another woodpecker shot made with the same 
camera and lens, but in mid-day overhead lighting.  A similar separating 
line can be observed, but it is a neutral gray and is hardly noticed.  
In yesterday's late afternoon shot, the low-lying sun can be seen 
reflecting off bright parts of the feeder.  I believe the sun is 
reflecting off the line in the feathers, giving it a golden tan color.  
So much for the "golden hour" always giving good pictures.
