While visiting the north-western side of Ecuador, I came across this handsome green-crowned brilliant (Heliodoxa jacula)male.

I couldn't have gotten a better pose from this mid-sized jewel!

For this one I used:

1D4+600f/4(I)+tripod+25mm extension tube+LR+CS for sharpening and resize+Natural light.

Thanks in advance for your comments.
