Great timing on this one. Excellent detail in most of the tanager, with enough blur in the feet to give that sense of motion.

Great catch and amazingly good focus on a small subject pretty much coming toward the camera. The lack of noise at iso 6400 is amazing. I’m guessing you used your DxO noise reduction?

Excellent focus on the bird where it counts David-I’m amazed at the NR you manage with your Post Processing techniques. Cool Shot!
