This was taken last weekend. Just a classic woodpecker image, but I was quite pleased with the background and composition.

EOS 10D + EF 400/5.6L + 550EX

It is a classic shot and it is very well done. A slight crop from the bottom would improve it compositionally to my eyes. An excellent shot as is though!

Excellent shot all around. It screams digital and is so clean and crisp. I agree with the bottom crop suggestion but like it a lot.

Excellent shot. I really like the pose. I like it with or without the crop suggestion. Congrats. :)
