Flame-faced Tanager (Peru)

[Glenn Bartley]

Just one of the many amazing tanagers in the Andes. They are definitely among the most gorgeous families of birds IMO. What do you think?

A fabulous bird, nicely posed. In an ideal world, it would be nice if he were looking up a tad more, there was a bit more detail in the black, and the background was less fussy. I think there's a bit of motion blur in the head. I'll be going there in late Fall, and I'd be more than happy to make images like this. Would be nice to see it at the full 1200px wide.

Beautiful bird for sure. I think you handled the exposure and sharpness very well. The BG is a bit busy, but there wasn't much you could do here. Loi
