    Looks quite nice!
    I believe your crop is the right one as it looks pleasent and balanced. Nice sharpess and soft light. This seems to be a healthy WP, thanks for sharing.

    nice pose, light and details. The oof part of the perch in the FG is a bit distracting but overall a nice shot

    A very nice woody portrait. The pose is pretty much the 'classic' one, and all the details are displayed well

    Technically superb. I agree with Arash that the oof perch is a bit distracting. I am sure you have tried other crops and have settled on this one as the best. I wonder if a little brightness gradient towards the right edge would help focus the viewer's attention on the bird? Just a wild thought. Ian

    The woodpecker looks great (the eye is really nice), and you have a good matching BG to go with it. I have to admit the perch is not my favorite...the texture to it is very good but I'm not loving the top part of it.
