In my last visit to Ecuador I found this beauty sitting on this perch. I had dreamed for long time of this bird. Finally I saw it.
This is a female, males have a slightly larger beak and their breast feathers are more uniform green.
For this one

Many thanks for looking.
Congratulations on your dream becoming a reality Juan! I like the composition, perch, visible little feet and image is sharp where it needs to be. Light was challenging but you did a great job with the flash. What a long beak!
Stunning bird Juan Carlos. Congrats on getting "the" shot.
Love the perch and the BG.
The light looks like it was very low and I think you handled it very well with the techs you chose and your PP.
I would tone down the highlights in the moss on the LHS of frame

Nice picture of your dream bird, Juan. The perch looks a little overexposed.
Congrats on getting this elusive bird. What a beak! Nice overall exposure and details. I agree about the perch. Well done
Many thanks guys for the recommendations.
Killer frame, JC. Love the green BG and the perch (although agree on the highlights). What an amazing bird.
