    Dear Norm,

    A captivating image displaying behaviour of a very colourful bird!

    I like the green BG although there is a visible degree of posterisation which is rather unfortunate, also shutter speed seems a tad low (1/250s) - I so wish you had pushed the ISO a bit more, to capture movement!

    The framing works for me and I love those berries, they enrich the image in terms of colour and add an element of interest.

    Stunning bird, such lovely purples and browns in the plumage, we only have Black-headed Orioles around here...Enjoyed viewing, thank you Norm:)

    Kind regards,
    Gabriela Plesea

    Agree about posterisation. That really jeopardises the IQ Norm.
    Lovely species, environment and you caught the peak of the action.
    IMO no need for the square crop, i'd slash it near the bottom most leaf.

    Thanks Gabriela and Akos. I can't explain why the posterization occurred but think this repost is better.
