    Yeah, I think a little more context is a good thing. Those red round thingies on the left, and the golden stuff to the right, enhance the shot, IMHO.

    I don't mind at all if anybody ever wants to tweak my pictures. It's funny, over at dpreview I was told the picture was too busy and to crop it, over here the busyness adds to the pic. Go figger ;-) I do believe that's the first woodpecker I've ever seen here in S. Florida. When I lived on the coast I used to see wild parrots, but haven't seen any since I moved inland, mostly crows. Anyway, thanks for the comments, guys.
