Excellent! Fill flash seems just about right. I haven't found one yet here.

Having the young bird visible in the cavity adds a lot to this image.

I'll bet this wasn't an easy shot to get, Sandy. I agree, the begging chick makes a huge difference here.

Cool! Didn't notice the little guy on the thumbnail, a nice surprise when opening this up! Nice job Sandy.

Excellent shot Sandy, wonderful timing and I like seeing the beak open on the youngster. Nice detail on the woodpecker and complimentary background colors, way to go.

Wow, this is cool Sandy! Flash looks very good, but I suppose you could darken the chick just a tad for a little more realism. Very sharp focus on the adult and great colors. Love this species, haven't seen one in a while.
