Nice bird and setting. The lichen on the branch match the colors of the tanager perfectly. Well done, David ! Cheers, Hans

Very nice technically. Bird, perch, background all look nice. I do wish the bird was not centered left to right.

Lovely pose and bg with excellent detail, Dave. My only suggestion for improvement might be to take a touch off the right side to decenter the Tanager a bit more. Excellent work.

Wonderful image, David. Agree about cropping a bit from RHS.

Perfect perch shot. Agree on the centering and crop from the RHS.

The colors and light on this Western Tanager are very nice. I like the perch a lot. I agree with others that it would be nice a little less centered.

You captured this Tanager in some really nice light, David. I also like that perch with the lichen on it. Really good detail in the bird. A really nice image.

David: definitely a wall hanger. The light, subject and composition are all excellent. Richard
