[Leica] IMG: Alternate Woodpecker

[len-1 at comcast.net (Leonard Taupier)]

Luis,

Thank you for the comment on the turkey and this little woodpecker. I  
took about 40 photos of the little bird as he worked his way around  
the tree. It's so easy to do with a digital camera. The first photo I  
posted, the bird was fully back lit and I had to bring him out of the  
shadows. While I liked that view the best the image manipulation took  
away the sharpness of the photo. The alternate photo has no  
manipulation and is a much cleaner photo.

This exercise makes me appreciate the photos of our nature  
photographers, Doug and David and others that much more. Branches get  
in the way, the light direction is wrong, you're in the wrong  
position, etc. Not easy to get a good photo.

Thanks for looking,
Len
