David, I like that the Flicker is in full view, vice a side/back shot on a vertical perch. Great color, detail, eye contact, background. I might have tried to remove the two small branches.

Nice crisp details and like the pose. For me, the thick perch is taking up too much space in the frame and
competing for attention.

Beautiful Flicker pose and great BG. Agree on the branches (that would definitely be a tough clone with my limited LR skills), but still a very nice frame.

Best,

Matt

A beautiful bird and well captured. I agree with the removal of the branchlets.

David, this is such a beautiful image of this Flickr. If it were mine, I think I would clone half of the bottom trunk and some from the right side. The bird and background are way too good to compete for attention!
