Hello Manyee,
You post a gorgeous bird shown with great detail and just the right exposure. It looks like it was painted by an artist who picked his colors by random choice. Super job!!

greeting lou

Hallo Manyee
The colours captured of this Tanager is really very special, and the sunlight added to the beauty of it. It is almost like looking at a rainbow, no wonder it has such a special name too. The presentation as a whole is bright and very pleasant to look at. I like the way how the different colours fits together like puzzles pieces, all at the right place. All the detail in the image is seen well and with great clarity. It is a image, which have a magnetism to it. Indeed a painters dream. Thanks for sharing. Best regards.
Anna
