A really neat picture. I like how the Oriole is vertical in the picture. Not sure what he sees down there. Good DOF. expousure, BG, and detail. Really well done IMO.

I am getting a head rush just from looking at this shot Sandy. Nice BG and perch. Good job on a tough exposure.

Sandy,
I really like the pose you caught! Good handling of the exposure and getting light in the bird's eye. Nice details & sharpness. Thanks for providing the larger version.

Interesting pose for this bird. The yellow channel may be a little hot as you have lost some detail on the belly.

Very interesting pose, Sandy. Nice job on the exposure, the yellows look really good. The head looked soft on the smaller post but looks great on the larger one. Nice image.

Sandy. I love the pose and the bird (beautiful). At first I thought more room at the bottom might be nice, but now I like it just the way it is.

What a wonderful pose Sandy :^)
I love Orioles for their stunningly beautiful yellow feathering; we have the Black-Napped species over here.
The only thing I can think of that I might want to work on a little more if this were mine, would be to see if I could brighten up the eye just a little more with the Dodge Tool. But I'm being real picky in saying that, as the eye is already looking real good to me ;^)
