    Here's another one from my road trip. I just love the orange on green. What a spectacular bird!

    All the best!

    Fantastic setting with rich green color that sets off the oriole very nicely. Good HA and he picked the perfect spot to land.

    Strong all around, maybe a tad dark, and maybe the bird needs to be sharpened up a bit. Outstanding setting; the leaves give us the forest-y context, yet we still get to see the oriole in full profile. Amazing, there's no confusing jumble of branches in your clean-green BG. Looks like one of Alan Murphy's setups!

    What a stunning capture and bird, Glenn. The colors do work great together, and I love the foliage here. Perfect pose on your bird too.
