A bit of an awkward comp due to an ugly fence immediately to the right, and a metal sign on the tree just to the left.

Nice image Sandy, IMHO it is just a tad too dark, also you did well with the composition all things considered.

I always like white/dark eye color on this woodpecker, nice detail where it counts, good job on getting this difficult contrast shot.

Love your shot of a bird, I love to watch and catch (on my sensor). A tight comp it is, but a great one. The eye on these is always interesting and you held the mottled black of it's back really well.
