I just love this species! I first saw them in Costa RIca back in 2005. They were actually one of the first tropical birds I ever photographed so I guess I feel some nostalgia for them. This shot was taken on my workshop at a feeder setup that I did. I cloned out some papaya that was hanging down in to the upper right part of the frame.

Cheers!

Beautiful image if a very colorful bird Glen, the blues and reds are so wonderfully intense.

Indigo blue birds are rare. This one is very outstanding, indeed. Well done, Glenn.

Cool bird!
I think that I would like it better without the green leaves on the left.
