That the color of the buds match the Oriole's color is a nice touch. The photo is a nice capture of our neighbor states' official bird.

Beautiful Oriole shot! The movement of the image from the surrounding foliage is excellent. We don't get any Orioles here, but I remember seeing them when I lived in Ohio as a kid.

Tom - I really like this shot; I find it really pops and I LOVE the background.


Warmest regards

Again! Kudos on the fore/background affect. Wonderful painting around this bird. And he is looking right at me! Love it.

I missed this one Tom, absolutely stunning. Framing & use of complimentary colours are wonderful. Sharp, but soft. Very well done!
