This was taken in Costa Rica last month. Despite the busy setting and less than ideal IQ I still like this image. I only brought my old 40D and 100-400 with me on this trip. All C&Cs are welcome and appreciated.

What an unusual little bird! I always like to see a new species.
Good IQ considering the gear!
I agree with you about the bg but I can see why you like this. The sheepish looking eye really adds to the image,

Sometimes it is more important to go light and have fun.
This is how I went to Arizona a few years back.
Cool looking bird and nicely done image, Jim.

What an unusual little bird. You did well considering the gear and I like the funky looking eye with the pupil half way up the eye lid. Well done Jim

Expression in the eye of bird makes this image. Beautiful pose, nice habitat and composition.

Jim I can understand why you should like this image, "Tody" name fits the bill, it's a little cracker.
