    Hooded Oriole

    SE Arizona: Workshop

    D2Xs, 600, ISO 250, f9, 1/640, -0.3 EV

    Taken on one of my AZ workshops where all participants managed to get their lens on this one.

    I believe the Oriole is on a Coralbean plant.

    I think this is a really good image. The composition is pleasing. The pose of the bird is very nice. THe bird is also sharp with good details throughout. The background is lovely. All in all very nice.

    Very nice. I like all of the perch except the branch this is sticking up parallel to the bird. This is a very striking image with the color balance between bird and background.

    Like the contrast of the bright yellow and red on this very sharp image. Nice dof also.

    Beautiful image. Good choice of aperature to keep the flowers in focus. I would not change a thing.

    Great picture. Sharpness, background, colors and details both in the blacks and yellows are killer. Lovely composition. I feel though it's just a bit tight on top. Congrats. JR
