[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
From my Christmas vacation in Mexico

The hooded oriole (Icterus cucullatus) is a medium-sized New World oriole.
Adults have a pointed bill and white wing bars. The adult male has an orange head with black on the face and throat; they are black on the back, wings and tail, orange on the underparts. The adult female is olive-green on the upper parts, yellowish on the breast and belly.
Their breeding habitat is open areas with trees, especially palms, across the Southwestern United States and northern Mexico. The nest is a tightly woven pouch attached to the underside of a leaf or tree branch.

Excellent and fine photo Mario., Great pose of this colorful Oriole (Calandria)
I like the approach and the diffuse background which is only achieved with a telephoto.,
The sharpness can not be beat, and the written note is instructive.
Thanks for the gift of your photo.

Hi Mario,
clearly a very attractive bird, but also really well captured in a favourable pose in front of a smooth, well contrasting distant background. Composition is simple and clear, and pleasantly well balanced. I also like the pleasantly soft and smooth light, and the delightfully subtle hues of green in contrast to the bird's bold colours. Thank you!
With best regards,
Peter
