Baltimore Oriole

Upper Texas Coast

D2X, 600, f8 @ 1/500, ISO 250, -0.3 EV.

Placing a Mulberry branch over a water drip makes for a nice perch, especially when the bird grabs a berry.

First time this image has been posted.

Hi Alan,

Excellent work as always. Love the pose, colors and details.

[Mike Wilson]

Hey there, nice one. Maybe you should try working on your perches and finding some good light. You will get better, keep working at it.SMILE. Good to see you dude.

[Judy Lynn Malloch]

I am not worthy! Seriously though I love the composition and the background.

No critique to be said about this one, just over the top in every sense!

And I'm going to find a nit!!!!! Wow, that is exciting.

Wish the leaf touching him was not there (I'm sure so do you)

Pheeeeeeeww, I said it ;)

(been looking for a nit all week LOL )

Gorgeous everything, I will add.

Another sweet one Alan. Great job on executing this one.

Aside from the leaf next to the oriole's chest I like this a lot.

Gorgeous image, Alan!
The berry adds so much to this ...

[David Hemmings]

So good as always. Really there is seldom ever to nit pick in any of your images the only thought that came to mind on this one is the leaf touching the breast area, but that is really pickin':D
