Nice, Craig. It looks like the plane of focus was on the shoulder, but the head is crisp enough. I'd love to find one of these. I like the intent pose.

Lovely background for this colorful bird. He gave you an excellent pose and eye contact. The composition is a bit tight at the bottom Craig, but at least all the toes are there!

looks good Craig, but a little centered for me--I'd take some off the left and add some on the right if you have it. might try a second round of sharpening on the head. nice looking pose, light, bg.

Craig,
I've been trying to get an image of this species that I really like for a couple of weeks now, they can be very challenging to photograph because of the yellows, blacks & whites. I like the pose, the light in the eye, the background and the perch.
I agree with Brian on the comp, I'd take some off of the left and add some back on the right if you have it. I'd also agree with another round of selective sharpening on the head. I'm not sure if the softness I detect is from morion blur or a focus issue though, 1/125 is a slow shutter speed for these hyper acting orioles.
