Cute fellow. I think a bit more sharpness would have been great. Was the original image underexposed? The details in the dark areas are less. Since the bird is predominantly black with a few white and coloured feathers, it would be important to expose more to the right so that the dark areas have more details. How much of a crop is this? Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,

Lovely perch and eye contact. The yellow and red coloured feathers on the head make it look like it is wearing a crown like the red indians ☺. Maybe just a bit less space on the left would have been fine. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Sabyasachi and Mrudul for comments. It is about a 50% crop. The image was not underexposed, however I have made the background little darker.

Nice picture of the woodpecker, Dr.Katre. The halo around the bird looks lovely and the colored crest looks like a painting palette. Thanks for sharing.
