Congratulations Greg Basco
Chestnut-Mandibled Toucan

Hi, here's another chestnut-mandibled toucan. This one was taken in late afternoon light, so the colors were intense, and I went pretty aggressive on the exposure to ensure detail in the black feathers. As a result, the highlights are a bit bright but I wanted to preserve the kind of sidelight/backlight, which was my only option for this quick encounter. I used just a touch of flash for a catchlight.

Tech: Canon 20D, Canon 300 mm f2.8 L IS, 1.4x, 550 EX at -3, handheld, f4, 1/100, ISO 200, full-frame

Cheers,
Greg Basco

Greg: This is absolutely beautiful. Yellows are so hard to get right and you nailed it. Nice soft BG and the composition is outstanding. Congratulations.

Gracias, Juan Carlos! Para que sepa, no fue en cautiverio -- tuve mucha suerte un dia por Dominical.

Greg, para que sepa yo nunca dije ni incinué que usted hubiera tomado la foto en cautiverio.
