This cute little woodpecker would sun itself every morning after eating some breakfast on our deck. It would sit and "pose" while sunning each wing one at a time! I can't wait to see the new babies this spring!

What a sweet little bird. This is adorable. The coloration and variations of it are great. He looks so happy there in the sun. I like the lighting of this shot as well.
Delightful bird portrait! I like the way we have the front breast of the bird, a slightly opened wing with the feather pattern clearly visible and the side of the head showing lots of eye and crown detail. An exceptionally appealing pose from the bird. The composition is just perfect with just the right amount of wood to green background ratio. Really lovely shot. 8
what a cute capture. love the detail, especially in the wing. i might suggest your adding an overlay layer with a 50% gray fill, then using a brush at 30% opacity to slightly burn in the wood. as is, the near blowouts really detract from an otherwise wonderful image. good luck in the challenge!
