Like a woodworker in his shop with sawdust every where and in the air. Great perspective with this shot.

Excellent vertical composition. Nice decision to shoot backlit as it puts more emphasis on the flying debris from the tree
and shows the woodpecker doing what it is best at.

Excllent Shot.. The side/back lighting really shows off the behavior and all the wood dust.. tells a nice story about how powerful these birds can be to wood

A power drill has nothing on these amazing birds when they get wood working!!

Fantastic action capture with the backlit flying wood chips and dust. A special image indeed Debapratim!

Debapratim, wow what an industrious bird, fabulous explosion of chips/dust and highlighted beautifully with this unique light angle!  Wonderful action and behavioral depiction, so much fun to view.

I always like seeing something a bit different and this is really nice. Great action and the back light and flying debris make it special. Nice job.
