Very nicely captured image of this bright yellow bird. The lighting is excellent to show the details of it's feathers and colourings.
Well balanced and composed photo. Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful capture of your Baltimore Black Nap Orial. Yellow feathers are outrageous in details of colors. Your bird is set just right on the branch and enjoy the muted green background leaving Orial standout sharp. Thank You for sharing.

This is a beautiful photo of this lovely bird with it's bright vibrant yellow color! The perch is very nice. The out of focus greenery makes a great background.

I never would have thought he was part of the Oriole family! Cool and interesting. This is a fine capture of the little bird. We have some like this but Im sure its not the same bird! I love the excellent sharp point of focus with the excellent shallow depth of field. It has a great blurred effect on the background which pops your subject greatly.
Stunning colors and color harmony! Love how you got in close to fill your frame. Wonderful details in the feathers. Excellent use of your lighting and exposure. Fine use of techniques and high technical excellence. Simply beautiful my friend. Congrats on this fine offering!

Regards,

Paul

This is such a beautiful bird. I like how you blurred out the background so that the focus is on the bird and the branch he is on. The branch has a nice color of yellow that compliments the color of the bird. Nice focus and framing.

What a wonderful capture - the exposure offers up such grand color and beautiful light. Fantastic focus as well with such grand feathery detail! :-)) Birds are my favorite to snap... I have issues with the small ones though - you do not!!! Great image - thanks for sharing!

Grace, a regal image if ever I saw.

You have it all in this shot. The exposure is precise. Yellow is one of the most difficult colours to photograph.

The pose is perfect, a profile like that with eye catch. Purrrrfect.

Good contrast and focus showing details of feathers and the soft background colour coordinated.

Tight crop holds us in your photograph.

Top marks from me.

I'm so glad I made sure to read the artist notes carefully because I almost called this a finch. It's the yellow! This is a remarkable yellow oriole and is beautifully framed and detailed.
The color is so eye catching
And has a striking immediate impact. Wonderful capture of this beauty.
