The only special with this woodpecker, called grongoling in Swedish, is maybe the double light, there is some backlit from a mirror - an idea Bence M. in Hungary had. It's a rather rare species of woodpecker, and the portrait is perhaps not the usual one. But I may have put it in the wrong thread here. I am not totally happy with the background, but I'll think this or one of some look-a-likes will go into my next book.It's a bird I love though.
Hi Brutus! This is definitely "Out of the Box"! Incredible sharpness and the double light is quite amazing!
Love the low perspective and feel !!! Big winner in my book !!!!
I like the feeling of "lost in the storm" that he conveys, very nice image.
WOW!! fantastic detail and the lighting is amazing!! love the feel of this. very different.
Low angle works well here. Comp is great and really like the out of the box thinking here well done on a really nice image
Wonderful detail... Great angle and light as mentioned above.
Brutus... Are you in a hide taking this and some others like that crazy jay?
Amazing imagery!

Both these are being photographed from hides. Bence Mate has built ten + hides in Hungary, which you can rent. And you can experiment and do different things - therefor I often prefer to go to hides so I can be there myself. I have a feeling some other photographers would think I am crazy - which is probably right.
