Hello Greg.
Interesting note in how to shot a woodpecker in the backyard.
Did you turn VR off because the lense was mounted on a tripod?
The result is excellent, really well exposed and framed.
Green BG is amazing and the details on this bird (female?) are great.
Thanks for sharing.

Hi Greg,
Definitely a beautiful bird shot. A miserable day gives very often the best condition to have a well balanced exposure and a natural image. It's proven here. This is a female (lack of red cap); it could also be a juvenile (male or female) for the same reason. I like the the eye expression. Great shot, with the ideal BG!

Hi greg,
Absolutely a great shot. You'd been able to change the bad light condition to your advantage. I do not think that I'd love this photo this much under bright sunlight.
Excellent work.:)

Hi Greg,
Flawless composition and framing on this shot. Spot on exposure has the colors and detail looking superb. Excellent sepertation from the backround really gives a nice OOF backround of soft shades of green.
A real beauty! Nice camera work.

Hi Gregory
Very Impressive!
Nice fine details and crisp sharpness. Perfect exposure. I like the slight tilt of the branch, was this natural or did you tilt the camera purposely? Either way, this is an all around perfect shot. Very well done!
