Blue Moon's Baltimore Oriole - 05-30-2011, 06:06 PM

Critique: NC:

After a few trips afield chasing a shot of a Baltimore Oriole, I finally managed to get a shot I'm pleased with. Thought it might be a good one to post to celebrate the launch of the new site.

Thanks for the kind words. For those in the DFW area, several Baltimore Orioles are nesting at White Rock Lake near the lagoon and old art deco boathouse in elm trees just off the running path.

Best,

Geryl

Very nice image - like the composition and the sharpness. It looks to be a little tightly cropped for my taste.
