Greetings from the Critique Club

Strong points: Beautiful images of this woodpecker. Each of them individual would be a good shot by itself. Beautiful colours. Good detail and sharpness.

Possible weaknesses: The presentation. The images lined up without any borders/divisions make for a good series, but make the whole thing look a bit bland. The storyline is weak.

Technicals: Great colours, great detail and sharpness. Amazing you got this sharp at F5.6! Love the bokeh at the left in the top right image. The processing seems adequate for each individual image, although they might benefit from a tad more definition (shadow/highlights or curves or so).

Overall: A beautiful series of images, I almost think they would be better by themselves than arranged in a series.

I hope this helps. If I can be of further help, please let me know.

This is a nice shot but I think there should be a border around each picture. The contrast between them is to stark without it. JMO.

very nice photos. But i think frames around each picture would have separated the pictures and made them stand out more.

Three nice pictures, but all kind of similar. Internal borders would help separate the three as well.

I think this series of photos could have been improved if the photos were bordered with white or on a white background. I love the muted colours.

Great subject, but two of the frames are pretty similar

These are great captures. I think if you bumped up the saturation & contrast a bit, it would have really made the images pop.

Great captures! Would have been a more effective triptych with borders around each picture, IMHO.
