I believe I have not shared this one here before!

I shot this fella on my past Jan photo workshop in Costa Rica.

For this one I used

1D4+600+1.4TC+Tripod+fill flash.

Your comments and suggestions for improving are always welcome!

Lovely image. I like the way he is perched on the tip of the leave.

Beautiful shot of this species, Juan!
The large leaves gives a nice flow of lines too ...

Gorgeous, Juan! Great lines, subject and composition too. The left side being one of the brighter spots might benefit from being darkened a little but great image!

Beautiful capture Juan Carlos with a very complimentary composition.  This is the first time I have noticed the chest changing from green to blue on this spices as all the captures I have only show a green chest.

You are right Rick!
Depending on light direction, some feathers can turn bluish in this specie! 
Thanks for stopping by!

What a beauty, Juan. I missed Costa Rica just by a hair last year because of my heavy shoot-outs elsewhere. Yes, I will be there soon. TFS.
