A great look at this beautiful tanager. The colorful tanagers of South America are truly amazing.

You captured a wonderful pose against a sweet background and its sharp where it needs to be.

Sweet Portrait Ken laugh

Gorgeous, Ken. Maybe a touch more canvas on the right? Otherwise perfect.

You seem to specialise in richly coloured birds, Ken! Another beauty! And I agree about this making the lilac breasted roller of Africa look dull in comparison!
