 Im not a bird person so im not sure exactly what this is....My best guess is a woodpecker since he was pecking wood..... But then i saw a picture of a simlar looking bird in a magazine - the called it a Nuthatch - so You be the judge - either way I'm not expecting too much from this....

I agree with the comments regarding the crop on this photo, I didnt want to crop too much for fear of loosing quality tho.... the bird was quite high in the tree and kept creeping up higher as I got closer. This photo was actually taken quickly and without too much though as I just happened to see him and ran back in the house to grab my camera..... SO overall I'm not disappointed in it, I know what I need to do in the future for a challenge like this.

I love the spot of bright blue against the tree I just wish there wasn't so much tree in the picture.

Beautifully photographed. The spot of colour really captures your attention against the grayed trees. One of my favourites in this challenge. Hope to see this in the top 10, or in the ribbons.

Nice shot, but the bird is a bit small in the wood work, 5.

Nice Nuthatch. Might have gone with a tighter crop for this challenge.

He seems awfully blue for a Nuthatch. Nice contrast & definition on the tree bark. I think a closer crop may have worked even better.

Neat how he's sitting there like that. Would have liked this much better a little less exposed.
