    Great Shot Jim. It looks like it is catching a wave...I love the color and smooth BG. It is a bit tight for me but everything else is great.

    Here, your good handling of the blacks, oranges, and gray of the bill are on display. I therefore don't mind the tightness, because I see what you're trying to show me. The tail is peeking from under the branch; I'd be tempted to do away with that little slice of tail.

    Jim, the two colours work so well on the oriole, and you have exposed nicely. Great HA, and that BG is sweet.

    Love your orioles Jim. I agree that it may be a tad tight in frame.
