Like these images, could you swop the tree for an aspen .

Beautifully exposed bird. I wonder how you got all white background.

Thank you. The background is snow.

Looking good John...Perfectly exposed. The detail on the bird, and perch is outstanding. Very nice.

Good Downy pose, and well exposed under tricky conditions. I'd add a 1 px border.

I love woodpeckers on snow, and this one looks pretty good. I particularly like the small diameter tree as we get snow on both sides. Focus on the eye is perfect, but I wish the flank and foot equally sharp.
Light must have been awful if you were at ISO 3200 on snow!
