I like the pose and detail. My only thought would be to decrease the brightness of the yellow background.

Hi Lucy.
Agree with Allen perhaps tone down the b/g I would also try and get a bit more detail in the black of the bird, it's a good shot that I think is worth a little effort to improve.

It's funny, but, I DID tone down the yellows

A testament to the intense golds we are getting this Fall

I'll work on this a bit more. Thanks.

Hi Lucy,

I agree with the other folks about toning down the BG a bit and working up the details on the woodpeckers dark plumage. Your repost should look awesome!......................Jim

Did I tone down the BG too much? I pulled out as much as I could out of the black feathers....but color noise prevented me from getting more. What do you think?

Lucy,
I agreed with the original comments, the re-post is much much better

I like it a lot. The most misanthropic bird that I've ever chased, and they have the gall to be black, white, and red.
