This is the third 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.

Beautiful bird in an interesting setting! I prefer this image over the other two, because it shows more of the branch, which adds interest for me and makes the image more complete and balanced.
