Collared Araçari

[Tom van den Brandt]

One of the beautiful birds that I encountered in Costa Rica. It was a setup and a Banana was used as an attractant.
Cropped a bit for composition.

Hi Tom,
I think this is a terrific image.
I am loving the DOF you got with this image at 7.1. Tail to tip of beak is nice and sharp.
Nice clean BG and simple perch show a well thought out set-up.
Love the subtle sheen and iridescence of the wing feathers.
TFS,
Gail
