Red-legged Honeycreeper (Costa Rica)

[Glenn Bartley]

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!

Gorgeous subject. I love your rainforest images and this is no exception.
Why not take the 1.4 off and get that whole wonderful perch in focus?
Particularly those leaves....

Was this shot with a tripod?
