This is really nice, Richard! I like how his head is slightly cocked to one side. And the bokeh is great in this shot.

Beautiful image Dave
Really nicely composed
The Oriole appears bathed in light in a lovely diffused backdrop. Very pleasing.

Thank you, fotoi. The curved branch and it's reflection are the only reasons I posted this shot. I thought it look kinda neat too.

Thank you kindly SYS! With the birds neck stretched out, it kind of reminded me of someone looking at a mirror in a surprised manner.
