Found this early migrant along a busy roadside and got a few snaps before he went for the R.R. Tracks. Hope he made it safely across. I was stunned by the brilliant color.

Thanks Dave- wasn't sure about the bright colors, but that's how they looked to me. Needed sunglasses for that bird! ;)

Beautiful, Cindy. I will echo the comments about the complimentary colors. There use works so well and makes the tanager really stand out and "pop." The treatment in Topaz Impression is great, and I love being able to see individual brush strokes in your painting.  It is such a lovely piece!!!!!

Such a beautiful and cheery colour to brighten up a spring day!  A sweet head on one side pose too - almost like it knew you were going to turn the photo into an artwork.  

Can't stay long, Dave has me temporarily wired into the TV cable to get Wi-fi in this place!!!........ sh! don't tell.  :wink:
