Christmas Eve sunset

[Mikhal]

Managed to get a few shots of a rare non snowy Christmas Eve sunset, and a random woodpecker that was in the tree above me. The first picture was with my nikon 18-55mm, the others were with the nikon 70-300mm, all with out a tripod. Any suggestions on how to do it better?

Thanks!

That shot was straight up and he kept moving to the other side of the branch every time I tried to take the shot, I didn't realize I got him until I was looking through the photos.
