Hi Eugenne
This is rich light all the way.Must have had a good time managing it...the pecker is well picked up with excellent details and sharpness.The dry leaves I feel does dominate the bird in the frame a but-just my personal opinion.The bird anyway is very well captured, may be some crop could work.
Thanks a lot for sharing this beauty.
Cheers

hello Eugene

My 1st visit to your gallery but I find this woodpecker shot is nicely highlighted from the wood trunk and dried leaves because of the bright light coming down, which really adds so much effectiveness to this composition. A superb choice of POV with BG blur bokeh.
