Hi Jim, looks like I am looking out our rear windows of the house. Nice image, like the white feathers on the birds chest and the foot hanging on tight. I might remove the tiny fill flash dot in the eye.
Hi Jim, I like your vertical comp, works well, and the woodpecker is posed nicely against the smooth BG. Good use of fill flash, subtle, and I like the detail on both the woodpecker and tree. I would maybe try a version with a touch more contrast.
Wonderful sharpness, pose, soft light, and BKGR. I'd go for a bit less tree and a bit more room on the left. And just a bit of Eye Doctor work.

Very nice! Some interesting options to explore above.....agree with Stuart that you could give it a touch more contrast but minor tweak to an excellent image.
