Comment from Envision
The over the shoulder glance towards the camera along with his fluffed feathers is great! The sharp detail of his face and shoulder feathers looks so nice. The colors look great too! This is lovely. Great work! Your exposure is spot on with bright natural colors and the clarity is pin sharp bringing out good detail and palpable textures. The feathers look great and the pose is charming!

Nice catch of this young oriole. Good sharp focus allows us to see much detail in the feathers and bird. Nice catch light in the eye. Good background to make it stand out. Good exposure. Well done.

Hi Shadow, Love how this little guy is fluffed out! The focus is pinpoint sharp with terrific lighting. Love how you can see even the tiny pin feathers on his upper wing. Its a beautiful shot of this lovely bird. No distractions take you away of enjoying this fellow. Great Job! :o) Nancy

I've never seen a young Oriole... very nice capture Shadow!

How nice of him to give you that glance of his shoulder too ;)

Nicely done with good clarity and a great background.

A very nice looking youngster. They are just nesting in my area. The detail in the bird is exceptional but I would prefer something other than the deck rail for him to perch on.

'Very Cool',LeeAnn!
You've presented us with a fine looking photo of this highly attractive little bird,my friend!
It's coloration is bright and 'almost garish' ( as Evolution intended it to be! ) and it certainly is enjoyable to see!
