Hello Doug! I like this picture. There are nice details and color on the bird. Just two things: a) the branches on the right (as it was stated in the previous critiques also) and the colors on the background and on the tree are a little flat. But definitely the red color makes a very nice contrast. Thanks for sharing, Konstantinos.

Very nice capture of the red belly woodpicker. The bird is crisply in focus. Lighting is beautiful with nice catch light on its eye. The beige color background is very pleasing.

Wish you can do something with the loose branches on the front right.

Thanks Alex - I already cloned out the lower branch closest to the bird and it looks much better. Once it was gone, the other one didn't look too distracting. Thanks for the tip. :-)
