    I believe this to be a immature Yellow-Bellied Sapsucker. This was taken at my feeder setup. Image adjustments in Lightroom.

    Hi John, good exposure on the subject, and I like how the Sapsucker is posed against the high key BG. Comp wise, I would maybe come up from the bottom a touch more.

    This view shows the kickstand tail well. The HA is good and the moss on the perch adds interest. Looks like your set up is pretty successful. Nice image John.

    Nice image, composition and exposure look good. As Bill wrote the moss adds interest to the perch and image. Thank you for sharing.

    You've been doing great with this set up John, and this image is no exception. I like the perch and the bird looks good. I do think that a bit less from the bottom and a bit less on the left could help as I do find the perch just a bit overpowering. TFS
