Beautiful pose and colors! Love the way you framed it! TFS
What a beaut! Love the colors and clarity, well done!
Excellent image. Very nice preening pose, beautiful colors, great details and nice composition.

Satish.
Like the vibrant colors here. You handled the mid-day sun nicely.

Lovely colored woodpecker. Nice preening pose. You did do a real nice job balancing the light with the fill flash.
Beautiful preening pose. Just a bit tight in the frame for my taste.
A striking bird, and you got it in a pleasing preening pose. IMO this image would have lent itself better with a looser horizontal comp - highly subjective of course.
Thanks Daniel. You think so even with the vertical perch ?
Here's a looser, horizontal crop.
Isn't the eye partially covered by the nictitating membrane?
