Beautiful subject ....

The images close up appear to have a sort of ghosting (?)

I only pixel peep because I'm jealous I don't have the mk3 yet and look to see the output.

Is this a regular thing ?

Yes, you can see this looking at 100% view, on the second photo, around the head and beak. It is a strange effect.

Re: Chestnut-Colored Woodpecker

The "ghosting" could be head movement. 1/125 second is fairly slow for capturing birds. But the picture viewed at a normal distance is just fine and a testament to Pentax quality at high ISO.

I live in Maryland and have never seen one of those beautiful birds. Where was that taken?
