Palm Tanager

[Peter Dexter]

This is a common tanager hereabouts and they really do like palm trees. I cloned out an unsightly branch in the upper left.

ISO 800

Neat Image noise reduction

Peter:

Good looking bird, like the purple wash. Well exposed.

Wish he was turned back our way, makes for a more engaging image. Still some noise showing up in the background.

Be sure to include the camera model and lens info so we can better understand the image.

Cheers

Oops yes I forgot. Canon 7D with 400 5.6.

Nice image Peter. I second Randy's suggestion on subject orientation. Very valuable suggestion.
