This shot is thanks to Greg Basco and Doug Brown with their multi flash setup at Rancho Naturalista CR! 5 strobes and many hummers! What a great trip this has been! More to come.

THis is fabulous Dan! What can I say? Perfect exp, wing spread and pose. The colors are gorgeous and the BG perfect. Glad you had a great trip and look forward to seeing some more. :)

Beautifully colored bird. Nice spread on those tail feathers. Exposure of whites looks good. Nice job.

I like the clarity in this. Pin sharp, well exposed colours, and great flash work too. Very well captured Dan.

[Axel Hildebrandt]

Great details, exposure control and eye contact, the fanned tail puts it over the top for me.

[Doug Brown]

Lovely pose and terrific detail throughout! It was a pleasure getting to know you in Costa Rica Dan! Your knowledge about birds was a real asset for everyone on the trip.

[Jon Thornton]

Great pose. Well done for exploiting the strengths of the 80-400mm.
