This was taken earlier this year in Costa Rica. It is almost full frame. All C&Cs are welcome and appreciated.

Beautiful image of the female Black-cheeked, Jim. Such cute little woodpeckers, and you've caught her in the classic WP pose, with just the right head-turn. Nice detail and bg.

Jim, lovely image in good light and BG. Well exposed. The only thing that could make the image better is if you have other frames with the full tail, but this is very minor. Loi

A picture-perfect woodpecker image with such a juicy background. Love it on all counts.

Wonderful image of this beauty, Jim. Not only does she have amazing colorful feathers, but you found her on a complimentary tree. Great BG too.
