Baltimore Oriole

[jfranciskay]

My first Oriole capture! Was a treat to see. Saw this at a local cemetary. Did some cloning on branches above left and above right. NR on the BG. Was a pretty heavy crop as he was at the top of a large tree. Comments welcome!

Love the BG and you seem to have managed the yellows well. A little localized NR would be worth a try as the crop is making the noise more obvious.

Light is a bit intense to my taste but you managed it very well. Shooting angle is a bit pronounced. Sharpness and BG are just killer :)
