I don't like the centered composition, and the woodpecker isn't super sharp. I'd also like to see the weasel's face. The subject is interesting and unique, though.

The odds against seeing something like this, never mind photographing it seem incredible.
The picture made it onto TV national news here in the UK. |

Let's start an Aesop's Fable and see if it gets traction:
The Weasel and the Woodpecker: a Fable
The weasel and the woodpecker met by a pond in the forest one day.
(take it away, peoples, a sentence at a time. Remember we need to build up to SOME sort of a moral :-) |

The woodpecker felt sorry for the weasel. "Here, Mr Weasel, hop on my back and I will give you a lift across the pond so you can visit your sick mother." |

Never, ever, EVER trust a weasel. They will happily take on prey much larger than themselves, and win. Mostly. Being a woodpecker with super-strong neck muscles would have meant that little beast would have had its work cut out for it. |

Moral, never let your enemies get off the ground. |

I thought the moral was; No matter how kind-hearted your intentions towards it, remember that a weasel will always act like a weasel.
