I felt that the 'shadows' in the original Woodpecker photo were too strong! What do you think about it now?

WOW!! That is one big headed woodpecker. LOL Nice pictures.
I must say I am in no position to judge anyone's pictures so I hesitate to do so. But I can not help but to agree with as someone else said; take a close up picture of the subject and not so much of the background. I have started doing that with my shots and have received a lot more..'At a boys!'
However they are awesome shots...Work on it.

Getting closer is almost always good advice, but with wary subjects, that usually means using a longer lens, or setting up a blind, which then requires the bird to come to you.
The one difficulty with the photo of the Pileated Woodpecker is the background. The bright sky makes it difficult to see detail, and takes away from an otherwise good capture. Of course, I've never figured out how to persuade birds to move to a better spot for me-- they seem quite intent on their own agenda! Sometimes, though, patience and stealth are rewarded.
The frog is very cute. And while centering the subject is often not the most pleasing composition, I really like it here. Keep up the good work.
And Cecil, I think your brightening washes the woodpecker out too much. The original photo is much closer to reality.

photoman 74 what do you mean on picture 3 to shoot subject not BG
When possible shoot the subject (Frog) as close as you can.
Eliminate as much of the Background as possible. The BG is to accent the subject. Crop if necessary in PP.
