A call from the forest

[Richard Unsworth]

A male Resplendent Quetzal cries out at dawn from his mossy world, and I dont recall ever seeing a shot of these singing

This is an interesting shot to me, but I appreciate for most there is way too much clutter.
It really demonstrates the complex forest in which one finds these wonderful birds if you are lucky.

Please enjoy for it what it is.

Yes, as you suggest there are some issues of clutter, steep POV, etc. But it does indeed capture an interesting view of him singing, and his colors are truly resplendent.

Lucky you to have seen and photographed this beauty. Photographing this beauty is a dream of mine. I wish more of the head were visible.
