Olympus E-5, 300mm x 2.0TC, tripod
f7.1, 1/100, ISO400

You have to like mustard color to like the photo, I think. Part of a mixed flock moving through second growth in decent light. La Selva Biological Station, Costa Rica.

Cropped to vertical. Usual sharpening drill.

C & C, please. Thanks for looking.

Excellent colors and the berries are a big bonus. Angle is a touch steep - but that's minor

Angle a little steep and cropped too close to the tail. Love the berries and the sweet background.
