[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Before I placed a photo of this Tanager from Casimiro de Abreu. This time I saw this bird in Itatiaia.

The Green-headed Tanager (Tangara seledon) (for me more blue than green) is a bird found in south east Brazil and a part of Argentina and Paraguay. They eat fruit and insects.
13,5 cm. Only the lower back is orange. Breast light blue, belly green. Female and immature paler, more greenish.
Voice: a strident TSEEe, cheIT, tsewk; loud, trisyllalbic, descending dawn song. (Sick).
Found in higher levels. Forests. Quite common.

Hello Peter,
The Tanagers are so beautiful and so varied in colours. This one must be the most colourful of them all? Brilliant capture, very sharp and I like its pose on the branch. Fine neutral background too.
Many thanks and cheers, Ulla

Hi Peter

Lovely capture of this beautiful bird. The isolation from the BG is very good as is the DOF.

Ha Peter,
die kleuren zijn bijna te. Ik heb iets vergelijkbaars gezien in Venezuela. Als je ziet bewegen, geloof je niet dat er van deze gekleurde vogels zijn.
Mooie pose van de vogel, waarbij de kleuren allemaal goed uitkomen. Er zit wat ruis in de achtergrond, maar dat is een kwestie van wat ruisonderdrukken.
Groeten, Jacob

hi Peter,
très belle image, l'intensité des couleurs est vraiment bonne. Le choix de l'angle de vue est aussi bien trouvé, la branche nous emmène directement vers le sujet.

Hi Peter

what a splendid shot of this lovely and colorful Green-headed Tanager. I really like all those vivid colors on his plumage and and also the nice pose you captured it in.
The DOF here is great and it also gave you a charming and blurry BG, to isolate your subject perfectly.
Good composition and exposure, too.

Bravo and TFS
