This was taken in my backyard setup. This is a crop. There were times when I had five Orioles flying around me. It was a great week at the house. All C&Cs are welcome and appreciated.
Gorgeous detail and colors, Jim! I love the orange/black -- reminds me of Halloween. Exposure seems spot on viewed on my MacBook Pro. Beautiful green BG. I am a big fan of tight crops, but I would like to see a bit more room on the right (although it looks like the perch may need some work if you include more of the right side of the original image). That is a minor nit -- outstanding image.
Super pose and HA Jim, and you have exposed those blacks very well. I like the smooth BG, and if you have room, I would like to see some more room at the bottom.
Thanks everyone for the comments. I didn't intend for the oriole to land on this part of the perch near the ground but grabbed a quick shot. There was no room on the right without including some duct tape. Plenty of other images with a looser crop, different perch and BG.
