The peeking woodpecker

That little head tilt caught mid-peek is perfect. I don't shoot birds much myself but I know how fast they move, so getting the eye that sharp at 1/500 with all that bark texture too is really something. The framing makes it feel like we're both watching for the same thing.

That moment when you catch them mid-peek. I've spent whole mornings waiting for woodpeckers to show themselves around a trunk, and it's always just before you think they won't. The framing here, the way the bird fills that negative space, that's the patience paying off.
