Wow,Grace!
This Asian species of Oriole certainly is a strikingly colorful bird,isn't it?
And your photo of this one,which has a sort of a wonderfully Dreamy look about it,is Great!

A Very 'Good Show' here,my friend!

I don't think it is possible to take a better photo of this yellow beauty than you have done here Grace. Shining like this I bet he is popular with the ladies. The deep green background goes so well together with the yellow colors, and with the silky look the bird is standing out from it in the most excellent way.

It is just lovely the way the light is falling on the bird, and the exposure is just perfect. Your photo is also pin sharp with clear and well defined details.

The tight cropping works so well and the bird has got a very good placement within the frame. Indeed a beautiful and well taken photo, and with an excellent DOF. Worth 6 stars of course, but I just run out.

What a very cool piece , excellent presentation .
With the variety of different calls , does it get noisey at times ?
Regardless it's a cool piece . Your focus and clarity are so crisp .
Thanks for sharing

    Thank you for your nice comments. I think their babies make quite a bit of noise from dawn to dusk!

Wow! This is a gorgeous capture of the Male Black-naped Oriole. Taken with good lighting and sharp focus with excellent details of the feathers and markings. I like that he's posing for you and sitting on the tree branch adding such interest to your image. Such a realistic shot with and gorgeous specimen. Outstanding photography and thanks for sharing.

What a lovely capture of a black-naped oriole. I'm always amazed at how all the photographers know the names of all these exotic birds. You have captured one I have never seen and have done it perfectly. There is plenty of details in the features, beak and eye. The soft green background showcases the bird nicely. The curve of the branch gives it a pleasant composition. Nice work.

A beautiful bird in a fine natural looking setting. I like the profile view and the frame filling composition. The dark eye would be easy to lose in that black mask, but you show considerable detail in it.
