Robert, Nice details and comp. Like how the yellow flowers in the background help isolate the head of the woodpecker.

Thanks so much, Gene, the `flowers`are actually unfurling leaves of a sugar maple in Spring.

How nice to see a close up of this very striking and colourful woodpecker, Robert. Sweet detail and complemented well by that pretty background.
