I tried to do some cloning of stray branches, but I did not like it, so I decided to add a texture instead.

Thank you for your comments, even if their a nay.

It's a great presentation Sandi. Good enough for a get well greeting card! The texture reminds me of those cards you tilt left and right, and the image changes.

I find that if there are too many twigs etc...stick another background behind it PS layers...then using the 'eraser' tool' .. gently rub out the offending twigs!...Much easier than cloning!

you did a great job here

Textures can add a lot to a shot, Tigz. This is one of those times.
It looks like the RBWP is dreaming.
Well done.

Boris-like tint of belly, let us call the bird "Boris-bellied crimson-headed woodpecker" for short ! :)
Cute face and lovely colours - proud birdie.

That background adds an air of fantasy to your fine feathered friend Sandi. I think it looks very nice indeed.

A nice capture of the woodpecker and great manipulation work with the smoky background. The poor thing must have been pecking so hard that he caught the tree on fire.

Good cloning work SAS and lovely texture chosen for this image...again I am reminded of a painting on glass or pottery or perhaps one of those nice painted marble wall placques...in fact I have one that used to belong to my Grandmother...great work here.
