Nice close-up! These are generally such shy birds...wonderful to see such a clean shot. My what big, sharp claws they have!

What great detail showing on this little guy! I'm not fond of the amount of empty space you left in the frame, but that's more of a preference on my part than a fault of your entry.

Has a kinda wistful feel to it. I like the subdued nature of the shot a lot.

Focus is ok and the composition is ok but I think with backlighting you need to lighten it up a bit. Also the catchlight in the eye is weak. God catchlight really adds life to animal portraits.

A Red-bellied Woodpecker! One my my favorite dumb bird names; did they somehow miss seeing that distinctive red on his head?!

I digress. Nice detail and nice angle to the composition. Background sets him off well. Could maybe stand a bit of dodging on his chest to really bring him out, but nice capture overall.
