Great Spotted Woodpecker
Another taken in my garden recently. Not too sure about the composition here, but I am sure someone will tell me.
Many thanks for your comments and clicks on my previous uploads.
I have been laid up with flu the last few days, so I shall catch up with you all asap. Still sniffing and sneezing and can't spend much time on the computer yet..or out with the camera 
Still, I guess I am in the fashion!
Thanks for viewing, and best large if you can.

Nicely captured Fran,love the textures on that log.
ref the composition..I would have tried a crop from the left of the frame to just about where the branch meets the trunk as that bit of space seems wasted & the bird is turned the opposite way with eye contact on the camera...think she spotted you !
Not a typical 'Woody' pose..maybe it's that fact that is jarring you a touch ?
A very unusual woody pose, lovely birds to see and great to photograph as they stay still for some time as they eat your hidden food.
Thanks everyone for the suggestion of the crop. I did originally crop it to where Janet suggested, and was just as unsure about that too lol. I really do appreciate your help folks, I shall go back to the drawing board tomorrow and add the second crop as a V2 for you to view.
Regards,
Fran
