Yet another woodpecker species I've never seen. Nice detail; interesting composition. I might pull back the green saturation a little.

I love the pose, Chuck. The flowers are a nice addition and your dof is prefect.

Nicely balanced.
the bright colours of the flowers work well against the more subdued colours of the bird but don't steal the show because the focus and DOF is spot on
