Beautifully done. Dynamic range handled very well. Very nice IQ. The perch is a little distracting to the right, but I don't know there's much to be done about that. I'd probably also clone out the moss intersecting with the tail.

Unusual looking bird, I like the colours, the HA and details. Well done Glenn, and TFS.

Glen you have one amazing Costa rica collection
This is a unusual looking bird wonderful, Nice HA and good details on the bird, the perch is interesting.
I may even imagine this to be a vertical crop in case you have the space on the other sides it may look nice too,

Superb Glen, love the rich colours and dark BG. Lovely perch and really like the eye detail, good work.

Seems costa rica is a " must do " for all birders, another fascinating exampole of bird life there. Nice pose and HA, it does look to be quite a comical character judging by it's stance, sharp detail and flash light well controlled
