Here is another image taken last month in Costa Rica. This was a setup with a bamboo perch and BG. Hope you enjoy it.

I liek the inquisitive posture. OK perch, good BG. I love the powder blues of the plumage.

Very nice Jim. I really like the pose of the bird and really like the simple diagonal perch. Nice BG as well.
Looks like you had a good time in CR!

Hi Jim, I like the angled perch running diagonally through the frame, together with the Tanager looking down the line of the perch. I do like the blues and greys of this fellow.

Thanks Daniel, Gail and Stu for commenting on the image. Daniel will post one soon with a perch you might find a bit more interesting.
