I'm a bit of a Tanager nut. I absolutely love this colorful group of birds. I had photographed numerous species in Costa Rica when I was there a few years back but had yet to get any decent images of the one Tanager that can be reliably found in my home province of Ontario. I made it a priority this past week and managed to finally get some images of this species that I am happy with. Here's one that I hope you will enjoy :D
Camera Model: Canon EOS 40D

Aperture: 8

Wow, really colorful bird. Wish we had this kind of birds where I live. :)
Really love the background in this picture, think red and green makes a nice combination. Great sharpness too.

Hey Glenn,
Lovely pose with a very nice BG. The image looks a little dark but at the same time it has a rain forest feeling to it!
Gorgeous!
