Taken Green Valley Arizona @ Elephant Head I know there should be more room at the bottom where the tail is. I took a bunch of Hooded Orioles but this is one of the first ones processed

Just great. I like the entire composition, beautiful bird, nice subdued background, and the texture of the roses. I really like seeing your work.

Beautiful comp. pose light and details Freddy..... Great Job!!!!!

[Fabs Forns]

Very nicely done, Freddy, great light and good compo. I like how the plant frames the bird, but would get rid of the flower on the lower left corner, it overpowers the framing.
The bird is nice and crisp, with a good if not great head angle, nice catch light and good feather detail.
Big congrats!

Wooo--awesome, Freddy.
I agree with Fabs on the flowers on the lower left.

Absolutely beautiful! I agree the flower in the left corner is a bit of a distraction but it is a wonderful image.

Great capture, love the landing. Great colors and details...:cool:

Beautiful image, Fred. I like it as is. Very nice comp. The position of the bird, light, sharpness, and bg are all right on the money.
