I shot this image in Costa Rica during one of my workshops down there. In a perfect world the black bird could be a little sharper but hey it wildlife. I just like the two different species together. Let me know what you think. Thanks for looking

Hi Todd: I agree that it would be nice to have the Male Passerini's tanager sharper. The bright area in the lower left is pretty distracting. By the way, this isn't two different species. It is the Male and Female Passerini's.

Keith thanks for the feedback and the correction on the birds. I need to spend more time learning about the birds I enjoy shooting. I spent too much time looking at the birds and didnt notice the bright corner, i'll have to see what I can do about that.

Great that you managed to get both sexes in the frame, the female looks sharp & clear Todd.
Nits already noted.
TFS this!

Not an easy image to get. When giving up focus on one bird, i would elect to get the nearer subject in focus.

It's very nice story telling shot. Two different colored species are together. Congratulation and TFS.
