Scarlet Tanager

This shot is taken at Alley Pond Park using 1D MK III + 500mm f/4+1.4X TC Hand Held.

This is the only picture I took of this bird during spring and now they are gone...

The steep angle and distracting leaves do not help it but since I do not have anything else I will keep this

They are so beautiful! Nice shot.

Wonderful capture. I really like your angle and the composition. I don't find the leaves distracting at all...more like they make your photo a little different from the typical shots.

lovely image Sachin

Very nice.

Pretty bird and a very nice shot Sachin......we're lucky if we catch a glimpse of these guys as they pass through here twice a year.

It's a pretty good shot and better than anything I got this year, which is zero. I had one briefly in the yard on a cloudy day and it promptly took off, never to return.

neat capture
