I like the Pose, the vertical on vertical is interesting...nice multi colored BG and the little green at the corner is a nice addition in my opinion. Good eye contact from the bird. TFS.

Hi Roy, lovely setting, and a good choice going vertical. You have captured a super pose from the Oriole, overall sharp, and if you have more space, I would liked to have seen a touch more of the foliage below. It seems cut off, but you may not have any more.

Hi Roy, this is a very classy shot! Great pose from the Oriole and the colour contrast against the flower is wonderful.

How cool is that! Appealing flower perch and a beautiful background. Vertical comp was the logical choice. Personally I would have preferred the subject pull back it head a bit but I would certainly be happy to have this.

Beautiful image Roy! I like the perch, pose, sharpness and clean BG. I too would like a little more room below if you have it.
