Summer Tanager Singing

https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7689/...34ef0aa2_b.jpg

First shots of this beautiful and not that shy summer tanager. Photographed at Pinckney Island Wildlife Refuge. He did move after the first few shots, but not very far. I have him perched in some moss also,but you loose sight of it's feet. Thanks for looking. CC always welcomed.

Tree knob removed from top left corner, BG noise reduction.

D810 & Tamron 150-600mm

ISO 2500

F/9 @ 400 second.

You can almost hear him singing! Excellent dof, nice catchlight.

Because of the pose, I might be tempted to experiment with a more pano crop. This would reduce the impact of the large trunk in the background a bit, as well.

Wish the head was more our way.

Cheers

Lovely calling pose. I would take a little bit of canvas off of the bottom if it were mine.
