This was back in March of 2018 when I first started photography. I was on my favorite hike (Breakneck Ridge) and spotted this woodpecker through the trees.

I am really enjoying this one. The DOF looks ideal and the woodpecker shines within his environment. The thick branches provide a kind of tunnel into him.
The woodpecker shows up very well in the midst of all of the tree branches. This looks like a real forest sighting.
A fine entry for this week’s Challenge, Vanessa. I’ve often wondered why most woodpeckers are so brightly colored considering their normal habitat. They really stand out. Nice find and capture.
Thank you, so much for all your kind comments @Harley_Goldman @Mark_Seaver @terryb . Glad it works for the forest week!
