Ms. Red is a beautiful lady. I like her confident pose. Your photo has good depth and is excellent focused, exposed and treated with mixed media. I enjoy the sharpness of detail and the realism of color and light. The soft background is unobtrusive and emphasizes the bird remarkably. The Woodpecker is perfect placed within the frame, just a little left of center. The position of the bird at the fork of the branch pleases the equilibrium of the viewers. The mixed media is excellent composed. The composition is balanced.

This is beautiful! The pose is perfect to show the woodpecker's head and face and also the feathers on her back. Perfect focus on the eye. Your excellent sharpness renders wonderful detail. Very nicely done!

She's a beauty!

Camera settings are perfect. Focus is so sharp you might cut yourself on the feather edges. The eye, facial feathers and the beak are tack sharp - can't get any better. Colors are sharp bright and natural in appearance. Very artistic presentation, lots of eye appeal with fine visual impact.

Your camera and gear paid for itself with this shot ... Bob P B-))

What a stunning bird and your image allows us to see the detail patterns perfectly. The red on the head really pops out against the darkened background. Lovely pose captured with sharp focus on the eye.

Wow LeeAnn! This is an outstanding mage of the lady woodpecker! She is so nicely posed between the two branches and I love that she turned her head to allow such a good look at her face and beak.
Spot on focus, this image is sharp and clear, exposure is perfect, colors and tones are natural. Well defined detail in feathers, face and beak, beautiful clear eye!
She and the old tree branch come forward from the muted background . This is absolutely deserving of a six, I'm sorry I don't have one to award!
Beautiful work, well presented!

Oh, this is gorgeous. Sorry I don't have a "6". It would also make a great painting. That orange-red head and spot above the beak, along with the serene setting of the woodpecker in the realistic limbs is captivating. The blurred background with suggested foliage of green makes the capture perfect in my opinion. She is an absolute beauty.

Your patience payed off with this beautiful photograph.
The details on its head and eye contact are wonderful, so are the black and white feathers. Great placement within the frame as he sit on the branches of the tree.
Wonderful black background, so classy!
I wished I had six stars.
Thank you for sharing.
Happy New year!

What a beautiful shot of the woodpecker. I love how you captured the wonderful feather markings, and the red on the head and beak. Perfectly framed in the tree, and the background sets it off. Great pic.

I like to find her that she is totally clear. I love how she is separated from background and I also like how you composed her. Very well done!
