Nice image, Sandy. I like the pose crosswise with the banana. A good job on exposing the yellows.

Nice work on the exposure Sandy, the yellows look very good. I like the pose and the slightly open bill.

Not all that common a feeder bird, in my experience. Fine work.

Nicely done, Sandy. Great pose with the slightly open beak. I wouldn't mid to see a tad more room west of the tail, but that's minor. Looks to be really sharp too.

Sweet photo Sandy!!! Excellent deatil and exposure work. The tanagers there were extra-ordinary.
