    Hi Vivaldo. Nice shot of this unique BIF. Exposure and details look great and the head and eye are tack sharp. Love the colors and the turquoise green on the neck and chest is beautiful. Those big wadding feet are cool too. Only nit would be the wing position and the shadow, otherwise awesome.

    This is a very striking shot, the bg is wonderful. Fascinating to see those big feet they must cause a lot of drag if down but just look how these neatly fold.
    Seen a lot of these in the wild but no BIF

    Wow Vivaldo, that is one colorful bird. Great capture: Sharp, good pose and composition. If it were mine, I might try to tone down the bright BG just a bit. Beautiful image overall. Well done.

    Vivaldo:

    A riot of color. Like the composition, BG, sharpness.

    Very well captured.

    Wow, is that ever a colorful image -- love the brilliant bird and bg both. Not a species we see often as BIF. Well done, Vivaldo.

    Amazing image, Vivaldo. Don't recall ever seeing one of the in flight posted before. Colors, pose, light, sharpness - all there. A winner for sure.

    Wow, that is a spectacular image...one of my favorites of late!! You could not have asked for better light, and the colours just shine. Excellent BG, love the huge dangling feet.
