Silver-throated Tanager
This is the second of three images of a Silver-throated Tanager. All three contain the same image but they have been cropped progressively wider and wider. There are lots of interesting plants to see growing on the limb it’s perched on and the bird itself is in pretty good focus. What you have to decide on is if you prefer a closeup of the bird (Image 1) or one of the wider shots that make the bird look smaller but include more of the perch. Name your preference and write why in the Comments section below.

Would prefer the “middle of the road” images of fthis beautiful bird as it balances the size of bird with the wonderful surroundings of the perch.
This is my choice. The bird is the star and the branch adds some interesting elements. The proportions in this shot are the most pleasing to my eye of the three options.
