There are several species of woodpecker in Brazil. This photo is of a kind in the southern region of the country. Very shy and difficult to photograph. I got lucky one morning when I was near the tree where it landed. My objective of 55/300mm helped a lot and made ​​several shots with Kr I was very lucky to be prepared at that time and the right place. These things do not happen all the time. The sun allowed a great front light and the canopy could not be better. I think this photo record of a rare and impossible to play again now.

Hello Paulo Cesar!
Thank you for the comment. Occasionally participate in a contest, but I recognize that I have the minimum chances of getting a placement. I do this for sport and for fun, since bam bans fireworks with their resources to give the message. I confess I lose the will to participate to realize that, in my humble opinion, some selected photos are mediocre, besides using questionable resources to achieve amazing number of votes. The evaluation criteria are subjective and sentences are like those of any judge. It's a Russian roulette and nothing depends on transparent criteria for participants. It's a game with marked cards, so I lose hope of ever being recognized. Is it because we are Brazilians? Have you seen any Brazilian citizen of the third big world to win a contest sponsored by Pentax or at least be a finalist? I do not!
Big hug!
