Arabian woodpecker, female (Dendrocoptes dorae)

this was just 2 sec before the violet backed starling attacked her and took her place here in this shot

WOW, brilliant lighting showing excellent feather detail, focus, dof, colors, setting, and background. Love her eye! Top-marks Doux!

A beautifully-detailed portrait of the female woodpecker with a bill full of insects and the light is lovely, Doux!
