Beautiful bird and perch! I am a fan of "over the shoulder" looks... well done. Does seem that the Ocotillo is taking a bit of "center stage" from the Gila, maybe due to its bright color (red always seems to "come forward" to the eye) and also extra space on the left? Absolutely lovely BG.

Nice perch, pose and background. The composition would be better if you push the flower right to the left top corner IMO.
I like the perch and think the pose shows off his back well. I think the BG could use some NR.
Love the image overall, pose, detail perch bg but feel it is a bit bright maybe due to some harsh light?
A very colourful image which shows off the markings of the woodpecker well.
The Ocotillo is a wee bit too close to the bird and is therefore quite a distraction because it is so bright.
I do find the overall image a bit bright/harsh - which could be due to over-sharpening.
Composition wise I might have used a more vertical crop which let the branch run from bottom right to top left leaving your woodpecker placed a little bit higher in the photo.
Rick,Excellent image of beautiful woodpecker. I like the flowering perch and it's angle with respect to bird.Love the pose, nice HA, details,nice green BG and composition.Regards,Satish.
I love these birds, they are so fun.
great on the bird... I think the ocotillo could be toned down a bit so it doesn't compete with the colors on the woodpecker.
just a little too much glare on the oranges and yellows in the flowers. I like the comp very much.
very Nice perch, pose and background.
