Scarlet Tanager

My first post. Love all the wonderful photos on here.

This was taken at Garret mountain, NJ at a cliff edge level with the canopy of the trees below.
20D with 400/5.6L

The dappled sunlight caused some highlights on the back. I have thought about cloning out some of the clutter. What do you think?

thanks

Barry

Welcome, Barry. Great pose and setting. Personally, I would clone out the branch above the head, apply some NR on the BG and sharpen the head selectively. Keep them coming.

Very nice Barry on a species that I've never seen. Welcome to BPN!

Thanks for the suggestions, Axel. I will give those a go.
Stephen, thanks for the welcome. Looking forward to posting more and learning.
