    For a big tree/little bird image this one works well for me. I love the woodpecker's pose. Te protruding bit of the dead tree near the bird's upper breast was bad luck.

    Hi Joe .. a neat shot of the woodpecker , I am ok as well with the size of the tree .

    I would change the hue of the blues by - 10 , as they are looking electric and on the magenta side . Image can go warmer overall ... IMHO.

    A fine shot and TFS Andreas

    Really great pose you were able to get on this Downy Joe! I also don't ind the big tree in this. I like the weathered look of it also. I agree with Andreas about the sky
