Alexander:

A very nice woodpecker. Sharp, well exposed, complimentary/appropriate perch for him, nice head angle.

It feels just a bit tight below, but it looks like there is probably a big knot there that you wanted to leave out.

Thanks for sharing this beauty with us.

Lovely, great detail, great light, lovely colors and shaprness, BG is nice but IMO it feels a bit tight and centered, specially at the bottom. Congratulations!

Pretty much the "perfect" relaxed woodpecker pose. I do agree perhaps a bit more room in the frame for the bird if you have it. Excellent capture with fine detail.

I like it too, shapness is great and is the perch. Would like to see it in a larger size.
