    This was taken in February in Costa Rica. It was a set up and a banana was used as an attractant. All C&Cs are welcome and appreciated.

    What a superb image.
    The perch is lovely and I really like the plumage of the tanager and the lovely scalloping of the feathers. Great BG. Excellent IQ.

    Super quality image details and colours are excellent. I like the image very much indeed and have no quibbles at all although I would suggest it may be worthwhile making the subject just a little smaller in the frame just for comparison.

    What a cool looking little bird Jim. The colors and the feather detail are awesome. The techs look great and the perch and BG set this one off very well. Very nice!

    Hi Jim, what lovely colours this species has, and you managed a great angled pose too. Tack sharp with lots of detail, and you couldnt have chosen a better BG to compliment the bird. Great image.
