Here is another Oriole image from the backyard setups. Another Oriole was coming in so he stuck this pose. All C&Cs are welcome and appreciated.

Great Shot Jim. It looks like it is catching a wave...I love the color and smooth BG. It is a bit tight for me but everything else is great.

[Marina Scarr]

Absolutely love the pose, colors, BG and perch. Wish for more room on top.

[Craig Brelsford]

Here, your good handling of the blacks, oranges, and gray of the bill are on display. I therefore don't mind the tightness, because I see what you're trying to show me. The tail is peeking from under the branch; I'd be tempted to do away with that little slice of tail.

[Chris Baker]

Sweet! Love the pose, nice background and bird is well lit. TFS

[noelle zaleski]

Great pose and the colors are excellent!

[Dumay de Boulle]

Lovely clean BG and the exp is spot on as usual...Nice one Jim!

[Stu Bowie]

Jim, the two colours work so well on the oriole, and you have exposed nicely. Great HA, and that BG is sweet.

[Herb Houghton]

Love your orioles Jim. I agree that it may be a tad tight in frame.

[Jim Crosswell]

Thanks everyone for the comments and suggestions. I will try a looser crop.
