Great Kiskadee

[Jim Crosswell]

This was taken in Costa Rica in January. I grabbed this perch at a tree near our room when we checked in just before dark. In the morning I did a quick set up using a banana to get the bird on the perch. All C&Cs are welcome and appreciated.

Beautiful bird well captured, Jim.

I like everything, the colours detail and exposure, I would suggest it may be a tad large in the frame - maybe crop less/add a little canvas?

Nice image. Very good exposure control. Love the colors, details and the perch. Well done, Jim.

Pretty nice perch...good thinking grabbing it while checking in! Perfect BG. I like the subject too, and the vertical presentation is good...although the subject is bordering on being large in the frame.

The nubby perch makes this one special. TFS.

Beautiful and colorful image.

Beautiful, clean image Jim. Nothing I can critique. Like the perch. Well done!
