    Default Baltimore Oriole In Crabapple.

    Attached Images Attached Images
     
    This particular Baltimore Oriole was more approachable than normal, and when it was foraging in a short flowering crabapple it was simply a strategy of waiting for it to venture to the edge of the tree. Here I also lined up to have a distant crabapple in the BG for added colours and interest back there.

    Canon R6 + 500mm f/4 II + 1.4TC III, manual exposure, 1/1000s., f/5.6, ISO 3200, small crop for composition, a few extra twigs removed form the edges to cleanup the sides.

    If ever one had to say what is a 'Dan C style' this for me would be it.

    A subject well balance in frame, engages with the viewer, vibrant palette (although not always), but often with a cool/killer bokeh backdrop.

    A super image, well capture, nicely executed!

    The colours are so good. Lining up for that BG was a good move. It looks perfecto. Beautiful perch and bird. Nice pose, HA and feather detail. Well captured and processed.
