Hello Richard,
Excellent capture of a Silver-throated Tanager in a good pose and taken from a fine POV that shows the features. It shows up well against the OOF natural BG and I like the composition on a lichen-covered branch.
Thanks for sharing this beauty,
Ivan

Hi Richard.
What a sweet bird you managed to catch at amazing scenery. Simply great POV, magnification and fine colours. I like great details and sharpness of the bird image, impressive diagonal and neutrally coloured FG, amazing leaves and branches as a BG. Well done and TFS.

Hello Richard, what a cute bird, the colours are excellent, v. well composed. Good pov, nice focus and detail on the bird. You did extremely well for a 1/100 sec. Good catchlight in the eyes. Perfect exposure and nice light. tfs Rgds Necip

Richard,
I love that golden yellow on this beautiful bird. Beautifully saturated colors. Not as sharp as it can be but little birds are hard to get just right. Everything else is fine. Have yourself a good weekend and happy shooting, springs is almost here, should be a lot of birds out there to catch.

Hallo Richard
Superb display of colour. Excellent camera work and a real feast to the eye. Every little detail is just great. From the fine feathers on the head, right down to the paws clutching onto the branch. It is amazing how perfect the shape and patterns back feathers are, as if each one was painted by hand. This is really outstanding, and I just cannot get over the colours. The green and yellow is a perfect match and really a lovely combination. I like the position you have captured this one from the back, showing the feathers in all its glory. Good focus and framing, presented in a delightful manner. Thanks for sharing.
Kind regards
Anna

Hello Richard,
What a great capture of this beautiful Tanager that I've never seen although I've seen a few others on T & T some years back.
They're all lovely birds! I like the pose of this one and the details and colours are striking and stand out against the natural background. Very well composed too.
TFS and regards, Ulla

Hello Richard, very nice bird, great pose and composition, the colors are bright and natural. THe background is beautiful, the details are fine even if it seems that the head moved a bit too much for the 1/100th sec. Anyway, great capture! Thanks!

Hi Richard,
Wonderful shot of this cute and colourful Tanager. Lovely colours and details on its plumage, though I think the image lack a bit of sharpness. maybe it was moving about a bit or the difficult lighting did not allow a higher shutter speed. Anyway the image looks majestic and you bring to us a beautiful bird. I like this dense looking natural surrounding too. Excellent POV and composition. Kudos.
TFS.

Hi Richard,

This is a bird I have never seen. Costa Rica seems to have very exotic looking birds. The colors are beautiful - I love the yellow green and black. I can see how he got his name. You captured him in a lovely pose and pretty setting.

Hi Richard,
This is a fine and colorful bird! I like this natural exposure and composition. I think that its head could have been a little sharper but I guess it comes from this slow shutter speed you used; maybe that the bird moved a bit. It seems that there was not much lightning that day. Your notes are interesting. Thanks,
Claudine
