I was really hoping to get this species when I was in the lowlands of eastern Bolivia. What a cool woodpecker eh??

Awesome bird and superb capture Glenn. I would tone down the white/light areas on the trunk just a tad,
Cheers Greg

Certainly a cool bird and nice capture. Nice BG and perch. I think I would tone down the tree bark a bit and possibly lighten up his lower body slightly.

Striking bird you found, Glenn. Love the crest up, diagonal perch and the nice background.

Great composition and beautiful bird! I agree with Nick P on a couple of minor adjustments.
