Description: I am starting to work well with the Z9 and can appreciate the eye detection in the autofocus algorithm. I posted this one in the Human and Fauna category because the beak has a nice coating of grape jelly. Otherwise, please feel free to move it to the Avian Critique class if necessary.

Hi @Jim_Zablotny. I did move this to the Avian Critique section. There are no rules that would indicate otherwise.
A fine Avian image. The backside pose with the nice head turn to show off a lot of the plumage is very nice. The small branch is really nice and in nice proportion to the bird. Lovely OOF background. If there’s anything I’d change it would be to have more room on the bottom of the frame, and less on the top.
A good look at this Baltimore Oriole. I like the composition although Keith has a good point about lowering the top and dropping the bottom. The detail, color balance, head turn are all well done.
Excellent job on this juvenile, Jim. That tiny bit of grape jelly certainly didn’t justify putting it in Human and Fauna, especially since I can’t even tell what it is from the image.
