Thank you for entering my contest! I have heard about the attraction capabilities of jelly for orioles, but never seen a decent photo of it. The bird is beautiful! Good sharp focus and uncluttered background. And the board qualifies as not so lovely!

This capture made me chuckle. The bird looks funny with the jelly on his head like a cap. Apparently your jelly is tasty. Your photo has good depth and is excellent focused and exposed and treated with mixed media. I appreciate the realism of color and detail and the sharpness of detail. The reflection on the beak and the slight reflection in its eye are especial interesting. The bird is well placed within the frame. The mixed media is well composed. The composition is balanced.

A beautiful picture of the male Oriole perched on the dish of jelly on the block of wood on your railings, a blob of jelly on his head, the light catching the sparkle in his eye while also catching the sparkle on the blob of jelly on his head. Beautiful composition framing and lighting taken with superb camera techniques and sharp focus.

Precious regarding the gob of jelly. Beautifully colored- and bird with the orange, blacks, silverish white, and glints of yellow. The beak is also seen clearly. Beautiful bird on a ugly perch but the wood block and gray planks or whatever are right nice. The background is wonderfully blurred. Wonderful photography. Sorry I used my last "6". Best wishes in the contest.

This is a well composed shot that is so interesting to view! I love the excellent focus and sharp colors of the Oriole, his details are amazing and pleasing. That jelly on his head is fascinating! A wonderfully well done photo, best wishes for the upcoming contest!

A beautiful specimen. The orioles really like that grape jelly. This one seems to want to bathe in it. A fine shot with good detail in the bird and natural colors. Best of luck in the contest.

A good looking image posted here into the competition! Your fine and classical composition offers us an enjoyable view of that pretty bird. Like the pose, gob and feather detail. Colours, textures and tones are good. Exposure and sharpness are fine. Well done and good luck!

A beautiful composition of this oriole perched on the wood. The colors are very natural and the blurred background works well. Interesting to see the bird up close and nicely presented.
