Sandy this is a killer image of an Audubon's Oriole. A very special Oriole and one of my favorites.

A classic pose. Superb detail and a nice subdued BG. Good soft light. You can even see the pupil of the eye, behind the catchlight!

Just beautiful, Sandy, beautiful perch, background, colors, sharpness, detail, and great to see the eye so well in that dark head.
