Long time no post! Gotta get back into the swing of things around here! I spent 2 amazing weeks in Ecuador at the end of December. Here is one of the shots I collected!

Violet-tailed Sylph
Mindo, Ecuador, 12/22/17
Canon 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 IS II on Canon EOS 7D Mark II
1/500 at f/5.6, ISO 1600

Thanks for stopping in!

Cheers
Dorian

Love the use of the vertical format for the long tail, Dorian. Great composition and wonderful iridescence in the plumage.
