| good job getting the action of the woodchips - i have taken a few of these in my day and I think the only way I was able to get the stopped motion perfectly was at about 1/1000 or higher |

| If it weren't for the flying chips I wouldn't know that he was moving. Great, sharp capture. |

| Thought this would finish higher. HarveyG's earlier comment says it all for me. |

| Nice capture! The motion blur of the wood chips flying make this an exceptional shot. |

| Technically challenging image to obtain. Not withstanding the photographic ability, large aperture, fast shutter speed, perfectly stationary long lens/body but also to get TO the sighting, setup and shoot without the bird flying off is incredibly difficult to achieve. The flying debris is also magnificent as is the head caught stationary mid strike even though it's pecking at 50 ppm :) POV and composition spot on. Only niggle I can give is a missing eye catchlight, but for me this is a minor imperfection. Bird behaviour photography at it's best. 10. |

#2, tied with another.
Gave this a lower mark at PWOContests because it didn't fit the challenge as well as some of the other entries. For this challenge here I have it in my top three. Really well timed shot. If there was more bark flying off it'd make it that much better, but that's out of your control. It does look like the right foot is slightly more in focus than the face of the bird; a slight distraction. Looking at the other version, it could simply be the pixel restriction. Amazing what 50 more does for minute details.
Nice job Richard. |
