Cherrie's Tanager (female)

This was taken last month in Costa Rica. It was a set up using papaya to get the birds to come in. Hope you enjoy the image.

Very nice Jim! Having no blacks on the female helps!
Good diagonal perch that is simple and appropriately sized for the bird.
Perfect HA and pose.
I might selectively brighten the bird a bit,

The diagonal perch is nice. Good pose on the bird as well.
