A tow-fer. Very nice. I'm usually happy with one. :) Only thing that jumps out at me is the catchlight in they eye of the one on the left seems unnaturally large.
Well done getting two Red-bellies. BG and exposure look good. Catchlight noted, and there's a tiny white spot to the left of the LH bird. Guess I'll have to go search for a dead tree for the back yard; great idea.
What a great idea! Love the 2 well-exposed woodpeckers.Nice BG. Agree about FLK (funny looking) catchlight.The position of the birds is also nice-one up and one down,

Always good( and difficult) to get two in the frame that balance each other so well. Exposure looks good.
I am thinking you probably fell a little short on the SS front...head on the elft bird looks a bit soft. Not sure how close you are, but next time, you can perhaps try with a wider aperture and/or more light.
If you have a TC and can shoot from further away, with reduced field-of-view, you can get even more smooth BG. something to consider?
