Your usual standard Alan. Love the perch and the Lantana.

Very nice shot but I would suggest the yellows are slightly blown.

[Martin Dunn]

Beautiful shot Alan. Great colours great detail.
I can see why you've composed the way you have done, but for me there is not enough space behind and in front of the oriole and I also think that it stands too tall in the frame, ie; a bit too much perch.

Spectacular image of beautiful bird. I like the placement of bird in the frame.
Love the pose, color, BG and composition.

Regards,
Satish.

Excellent image, Great Background and wonderful complimentary foliage. One I wish I had taken

[Bill Dix]

Great bird, pose; and the perfect setup for him. I don't know if the yellows are blown as suggested above, but I do wonder if more detail could be tweaked out of the oranges. The comp works fine for me, but I could also imagine an alternate version with the bottom group of flowers cropped out and more room on top. In any case, a lovely shot.

[Carl Walker]

Great shot Alan. Its a gorgeous bird. I quite like the comp here. The plant below looks like something here called Lantana which is high up on our alien plant eradication list.

[Ned Bagno]

I like the fact that you include environmental elements in your bird photography. You do wonderful work.
