Nice capture, these woodpeckers also remind me of clowns (see thread above yours)...decent quality for the conditions and angle, you were shooting in, I might have raised the ISO a bit but again thats just my opinion....TFS

Pretty cool shot, I think it could a bit lighter but it is a nice effect.

Tough exposure for the colors of this bird. Looks pretty good, sharp and I like the rain and the beads of water on the bird. A tiny bit of fill flash would have helped I think.
