very nice, but i m surprised you didn t cropped it(or more than that at least) it d be even better i m sure;) you could have sharpenned the bird too, want me to make a rework for you? (if so want me to use a little hdr topuch or even a more important touch? lol)
Wonderful capture of this beauty of a bird. I just love the blurry green background which further enhances the main subject. Fav'd and thanks for sharing. Well done!

Gerry, what I like is the position of the bird on the branch, within the shot. Nicely composed. And.. as long as he was up there, didja ask him to shake a few berries loose for ya? ;-)
Please, even if you don't visit my gallery, check out my "Faves".I've left them intact since day "1", and would like it if every image there got the attention they deserved.
Great shot Gerry, I'm so jealous of this picture. I usually get a few of these birds in the apple tree behind my house every may, but this year we got nothing but rain and strong winds. All the blossoms were ripped off and the Orioles didn't stick around long enough for me to get a picture. You did a terrific job with this picture though, the focus is really good.
