Excellent capture of this fellow, with good separation from the colorful BG, sharp, love the tail propping on the snag, interesting trunk without being overpowering. Nice soft lighting.
Looks like you put him in the exact place you wanted him :) Very nice capture you have here. The bg in this image is colorful, but not overpowering. I might also consider a crop from the top and left (to keep the same aspect ratio)
Han, excellent BG and woodpecker is nice and parallel. I think the traditional "1/3rd BG, 1/3rd bird and 1/3rd tree" woodpecker composition will work better. I sense some motion blur(or could be some camera shake or both)....not surprising at that SS. With such a great camera, you could have gone higher on ISO to get the higher SS.
Very nice indeed Han - Very sharp image, good pose, and the tree exhibits some interesting textures. I like the ?bracket-fungus that his tail is propped up on and of course that colourful BG.
