The photographer is looking for generalized feedback about the aesthetic and technical qualities of their image.
Description
Quite a few Acorn Woodpeckers in the neighborhood storing their acorns for the winter. I think the first one gives the best look at the woodpecker, but I like the second two showing all the stored acorns.
Specific Feedback
Any thoughts appreciated.

Nice series Allen. I like seeing the close up of the woodpecker and the result of all the work. The eye in the first image is quite striking. The second two images gives a scale of the amount of effort involved.
Very good on all three images, Allen. I actually wish the first had a tad more room as the bird feels a bit crowded, but it’s an excellent close-up. If it’s full-frame, you might even crop to a portrait to show the action even better. Both of the other images really show off how industrious these birds can be.
Very well done! I haven’t found a good granary tree for the last couple of years. But yesterday I had to jerk hard to open the door to the pump house and got peppered with acorns. And when we take down the bird houses for the winter we will probably find them full of acorns.
Fascinating behavior, Allen. I’d imagine those larders in the tree-trunks were open to access for other birds, but perhaps the owner defends them efficiently!
