Those of us who have tried our hand at bird photography are very well aware of how difficult it can be! The downy woodpecker can be particularly elusive--they are the smallest of the woodpecker family,, and seem to be very nervous and shy. This is why the photographer can be highly commended for such a clear, well focused, and finely composed photograph. The detail is excellent, and the depth of field is very well chosen. The green of the leaves makes a great background, even creating a natural bokeh! Those who have not tried to photograph a Downy Woodpecker before, should still appreciate the patience and reflexes it takes to shoot the bird this well.
