Image taken on Gabriola Island. The BG colour is a Dawn redwood in fall colour.
Stunning image of this pileated woodpecker. Great eye contact and pose and a very lovely BG. The only thing I am not sure of is the upper left hand corner of the BG. Was something cloned ?? Excellent exposure and detail in the blacks.. Fine capture.
Thanks Judy for the comments. The upper left corner is a out of focus branch. I was thinking of cloning it out when I was optimizing it, but I didn't. But it is a little annoying, isn't it?

Agree with cloning out the oof bit in the top left corner.... the only nit in a very beautiful image. Good pose, striking bg color, and good exposure control. Well done.
It doesn't mean anything but this is most probably the best PWP image I have ever seen. The settings and the bg adds something to its perfectness.
