Oh what a great shot lise.

He is well detailed from tip to toe. Nice crisp focus. Excellent job w/ exposure and color....your blacks are wonderful and whites clean. Very nicely done here.

Very nice small bird capture. The feather detail is excellent. The edges of the white on black markings is sharp and clean. His red patch and downy mustache are brilliant and sharp.

I enjoyed reviewing this fine Woodpecker pic ... B-)) Bob

A very splendid photo of this handsome guy! Very good natural lighting and centering of your "subject". The background is perfectly blurred to not distract the viewer's eye from the bird. Great overall clarity! Well done!

Lise,
A beautiful picture of the male Hairy Woodpecker enjoying a feast from your feeder on a cold snowy morning snow seen piled against the seed block. Beautiful composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.

Comment from Dick Lee Shia
The beak looks so fragile & small but it has the power to bore holes on trees in minutes!
Dynamic diagonal framing.
Pin sharp focusing.
Nice perspective & narrow DOF. Fine features & textures.
Subdued lighting!
Thanks for sharing...

Comment from rgregoire
Nice photo. Great focus and capture of this fun little fella. The colors are sharp and you can almost feel his head poking at the feeder as he clings with his sharp little claws.Good lighting in the shot and well composed. Nice job!

This is very nice work. I am partial to these wonderful birds and you have captured this one beautifully. Your focus, details, and lighting are excellent. Nicely framed with good placement of your woodpecker on the feeder. Your colors are fantastic with artistic background to compliment your overall photo. This is very nice work and thanks for sharing!
