Golden-browed Chlorophonia

[Jim Crosswell]

This was taken in Costa Rica a couple of years ago near Monteverde. Cloned out a couple of branches. Taken on top of a small hill so moving to my right was not possible. This is my highest ISO image for this camera. All C&Cs are welcome and appreciated.

The colors are amazing, electric blue and green. Nice pose and the berries on the perch is a nice touch, Jim.
Yes, I can see a little noise in the background that you could selectively clean from there.

That is one bright bird!
Nice eating pose with your usual fine pp.

How colorful! Almost looks neon. Well done, Jim. I think that some of the negative space on the left could go.

Great capture Jim, the colour on the bird is amazing. Love the pose and all finished off nicely with a lovely BG

Hi Jim, I have never seen this species before, and Im sure you could have captured him in pitch darkness, with those striking colours. Having said that, I do like those colours, and well exposed on them too. I like the hint of food on his beak, and you have a nice clean BG. I feel your comp is fine.
