Hi Harikamal, lovely striking colours on the Woodpecker, and we have a good view of his left foot. I like how the Woodpecker is posed against the clean BG. Was the perch naturally at that angle?
Please take time to comment on other members images too.

It is a beautiful bird and well captured. Sharp focus and detail. I have never seen one before so thank you for sharing.

A striking woodpecker. Excellent green BG, albeit a bit bright in the lower half. I like how the bird is gripping the tree. I think having pointed your lens an inch higher and an inch to your left would have strengthened the comp. Ideally you would have had a gap between the bill tip and the tree. Still a neat image of a species we do not often see here on BPN.

Thanks Stu,
The perch was a Y shaped trunk placed near a feeder adjacent to an open field.
