    That's spot on for me Will colours look ideal details and sharpening good, also a characteristic pose with the tail support. If being hypercritical I would suggest the sharpening on the brightest feathers is a little edgy.
    In situations like these I take numerous images hoping that one is that little bit different - e.g. with the tongue out.
    We must be thinking simultaneously - I have a Woodpecker to post too.

    Everything looks great to me. Love the soft colors, the perfect head angle, and even the boxy crop.

    with love, artie

    Echo all the positives, Will. I think you've sorted out the sharpening issue from the previous one nicely!
    Sweet image. TFS.
