One of the most Amazing bird I have ever seen in my life... Looks sureal when the fly with that long tail. A real highlight of my trip to Costa Rica...

Hi Ivan,

That is a spectacular looking bird! Must have been awesome to see in the wild. He gave you a nice pose and the DOF on the bird looks good to me. I also like the interesting perch too. Well done.

Lovely bird.
I would crop much tighter to fully show off this bird (if the IQ will hold up with crop),
