I would always like to have everything when I snap an image-beautiful bird, great pose, action, beautiful background, beautiful perch. Unfortunately often that is not the case. This image shows a gorgeous (IMO) bird in an appealing pose. Perch, BG, action-not so much, as in none. Still, when I look at this image, a Green-headed Tanager, I am still happy with the rendering of this bird. This was taken in Brazil last year and this image will always remind me of the beautiful location it was taken at, Ninho da Cambacica Lodge.
Taken with a Canon R5, 600 mm f/4.0 lens off a tripod. SS 1/200, ISO 2500, f/4.0. Processed in PS with BG WB brought down and OOF branch cloned out in upper R corner.

Beautiful! Is that accurate color rendering? It looks like your green headed Tanager has a blue head??

Beautiful bird and capture. You should be happy with this
Thank you. Great bird, even with a "bird on a stick" shot.

Thank you. Yes, it is accurate. Like so many birds, the exact color of the feathers depends on the light angle. I do agree with you-referring to this as "green" is a stretch.

Wow...gorgeous bird and one I've never heard of or seen before!! 
Thanks. They are not rare, but are found only locally in the coastal rainforest of Brazil.
