Every spring I'm lucky to have the Orioles visit the feeder regularly. This image is a female on a budding sumac branch set-up.
Hope you like it.

I like the nice Background. Nice Colors on the Bird as well.
I would have given more space around the Bird.
Thanks for sharing.
Yea, color, light, sharpness all look good. I agree that more space behind and below world really help. Perfect eye contact.
Very nice Jim.
I like the IQ and the sharpness is maintained through the entire bird.
I like your comp and did not even think it needed tweaking until above guys commented and I agree that it would be nice to move bird up and right in the frame.
Love that BG,
Gail
I love the colours and pose on the bird. Lovely detail, HA, perch and BG. Comes together nicely.

I started work on this one on Monday night but got lost in a football game. I am fine with the original crop and would surely like the suggested crops equally as well. My problem is with the loss of detail in the brighter oranges. For the repost I ran NIK Detail Extractor on a Quick Masked selection of the too-orange area. I thought that it might be too much but is was not ...
with love, artie

Thanks everyone for the kind comments and suggestions. I do have room below to change the composition and will give it another look.
