Nice capture of this guy, I would be tempted to crop a bit from the left edge.

Nice species, well photographed in it habitat. I would not crop anything , since this give a good impression of the size of the bird, nesting hole and tree. Well done ! Hans

You managed well on this one Sharon, saving the whites and detail in the blacks. This is a great find. These are extremely rare in my area, they are a once in a lifetime sighting for a few lucky birders. Good job.

Very nice, Sharon. I like the composition, and the exposure looks right on.

Wonderful overall composition with the tree and placement of woodpecker. I like the interesting color pattern on the woodpecker, nice job in getting this shot, way to go.

This works for me as posted. Good work on the exposure. Very nice sharpness/detail.
I miss this primarily eastern species that I could see every year in NJ. There's only been one in AZ since I got here in 1994 and I had to make a quick trip to Flagstaff to get to see it.
