Nicely done Stuart, the bird looks sharp and its just a riot of colours! A little more space on the left will lift this image even more.

I think I would like this more if you loosened the crop a bit.
Nice IQ on the bid.
I see a 'clump" of ? posterization in the RUC that can easily be fixed in PP.

Superb colours on this tanager, and nice perch you had it on. I agree that the comp would work better had it been looser, and I would be less aggressive on the sharpening, especially on the face and head areas.
