A nice setting for this Red-shafted Flicker Clayton. I'd apply some NR on the BG here.

Nice capture of the colors and patterns in the flicker. Good detail in the bird.

I like the setting here with the Pine needles, and the position of the bird really shows off the feather detail. Nits mentioned, but all in all a fine image.

Nice detail and pose Clayton. I'd be tempted to use a little NR on the backgrround

Thanks everyone for the helpful feedback. I didn't realize how noisy it was until I posted it. Here it is again with some noise reduction on the background.

Clayton,

The repost looks better with the NR applied.

Great capture but could use a little NR IMO.
