Juvenile Summer Tanager?

Comment by levyj413:
The colors and angles of the background mirror those of the bird very nicely. I'd just like to see it without the bird's head in shadow. Of course, wildlife can be pesky about sitting there while you arrange things. :)

Nice capture and very strong bokeh. Lovely bird.8.

Comment by JunieMoon:
Colors are beautiful. Would have liked a slighlty better focus on the tanager to separate it even more from the lovely bokeh background.

A little out of focus on the bird, (It looks a little like the string caught most of it). A good shot none the less. 7

There seem to be some very distracting technical short-comings in this image, mostly "processing-related."

photo is noisy and compressed too much. I recomend compressing the image a lot less to prvent the distinct changes in the sky.

I'm not much for receiving or giving comments, but since Candids are
near and dear to my heart, I have decided to give comment on every entry
in this challenge.

Children are far too easy targets for candids, and especially at events when you are expected to be there with camera are they pretty easy to get. No one really goes out of a comfort zone to get them. So, for me, although this is a candid, it is really not to my expectations of what I enjoy to see in a candid. It's a 3 for me.
