Authentic nature photograph, square 1:1. A wild great spotted woodpecker clings upright to the jagged broken top of a weathered, lichen-covered birch stump in a damp birch and oak woodland. Its head is lifted and its red nape patch is visible, with crisp black and white plumage and a red vent. Seen in profile from about eight metres, slightly below eye level. Soft overcast diffuse light, natural muted colours, believable exposure. 400mm telephoto lens, shallow depth of field, background of softly blurred green and grey trunks and ferns. The bird sits slightly right of centre with open space to the left. Accurate anatomy, fine feather detail, subtle sensor grain. Quiet documentary mood. No people, no text, no logos, no watermarks.
