Blue and yellow Tanager

[Fernando Diez]

Hello, I am practising photos with reflection from hide, this species is the showiest of my zone, I have several photos of this one bird with reflection, but I chose this one because he seems to look at the mirror.



Thank you for passing, and with your critiques my previous photo I improve very much.
Critiques and commentaries are welcome.

Hi Fernando You seem to be careful with your set ups and it shows !! I like it Might consider lightening the reflection a bit more.

Exposure, sharpness and PS work look very good to me !!! Congratulations !!!

Hi Fernando,
The composition, image and capture, I like the head angle and sharp eye contact. The color rendition is very good, and the feather details are superb...agree with Mr. Forns on lightening the reflection a tad, so as to not compete with your subject...aside from this, well done Sir...looking forward to your next one...:cool:

Agree with comments above, colorful bird well exposed. Might take some off the top, its just a matter of taste.

Clean and sharp eye, nice light - maybe less aperture and more shutter if possible - well done, I like the picture thanks for sharing.

Love the colours and the pose - agree with lightening the reflection a tad.
Is it just my eyes or is there a bit of a halo present????

[Harold Davis]

i see a halo too. may be just a little over sharpened. beautiful bird and love the set up. reminds me of bence mate's set up. works great in great light!!

[Fernando Diez]

Thank´s for comment, yes I see halo too, I have problem with resize for web I think that I am not doing the things completely well. In this repost I believe that several mistakes have been corrected.


Thank´s for your time and help

I like the look in the mirror pose too.
I like the reflection in the repost, but I like bird in the original more.
The bird is sharp with good details, background is nice too. Love the muddy look at the bottom of the perch too. Wish that the log is a bit smaller.
