Good detail against a nice complimentary background. I like the pose you caught him in and the curved perch.

Nice pose and bg, Jim. I like the curve of the perch, but wish it weren't going away from you quite so much. Not much you can do about that though. Excellent detail and I like the soft lighting.

Very nicely captured, Jim. The soft light really brings out the color and detail, and the pose is excellent. Just a slight nit, if anything I might suggest de-centering with a small crop from top. The focus on that part of the perch is softer anyhow.

This is a very interesting image from a standpoint of color balance. I don't believe I've ever seen a fledgling Baltimore oriole. I really like the perch and the background really makes this work well.
