I captured this image along Lake Apopka Wildlife Drive, Apopka, Florida. When I rolled up on this bird it was working on the large circular hole. Seeing the vehicle it scurried up the tree trunk, looking to see what I was. Comments and critique welcomed and appreciated. Thank you for viewing.

Jo the picture with the story is good, the picture without the story makes me think the woodpecker is a little small in the frame.

Nice story behind the image. I like the Y in the tree and the cavity just below. Maybe more of a vertical crop would work better.

Thanks all for viewing and commenting, very much appreciated. Wondering if you think this crop works better for this image.

I do like the boxy crop better. For me, the photo tells the story :) I think that brightening the bird a bit would improve it.
