Thank you for the nice comments, very appreciated. This is was a wild bird on the cloud forest... they are somewhat common on this area, but they are really skittish... it only takes to move a little bit too fast to scare them off for a while. They like to eat fresh fruit, so the people at this park (Waterfall Gardens) leave some every morning. This little fellow was so aware of the surroundings that it was barely eating, therefore the curious pose :) Thanks again and best regards! Carlos Ch.

What a cute little fellow(?) you've captured here, Carlos. Color and stature are most intriguing.---Deb

Beautiful color and detail in this very alert tanager, Carlos. Your background color and DOF really sets it off well. Well composed & exposed too, it makes a very fine portrait from nature. Nice shot. MFC

Wonderful detail on the tanager, Carlos, and beautifully contrasted with the fruit and the background. Was this bird in an exhibit, or was it free-flying? Bev

OH sorry I see what type of bird it is. WOW I have never seen one of these before. :)
