Silver-throated Tanager

[Jim Crosswell]

This was taken in Costa Rica. I used a set-up with bananas to attract the birds. All C&Cs are welcome and appreciated.

Jim:

I like the angle perch and the pose it created, nice look back, good exposure, sharp, complimentary BG.

I might consider a modest crop from the right hand side, about 40% of the free space in from the right.

Cheers

Thanks Randy I will rework the image and see how it looks.

Very nice image, Jim. The green feathers perfectly match the green background.

Beautiful bird and perch. I too would have placed the subject a bit further to the right, and I would lighten the darker patch in the BG behind the tail as it tends to draw the eye there. Excellent pose, looks very sharp as posted, and love the overall colours.

[Doug Brown]

Nice perch, pose, and BG. Excellent detail. I would crop half of the space between the bottom of the perch and the right edge of the frame.

How about this one?

[Kurt Bowman]

Stunning work. I liked as posted, but after seeing the new crop, I like it even better. Great job!

[Daniel Cadieux]

The new crop and the toning down of the dark area has brought this image up many notches! Great repost.

[Jim Crosswell]

Thanks for the feedback and suggestions.
