    Default Black-Mandible Toucan in Flight

    Attached Images Attached Images
     
    I captured this image last week in Costa Rica, with the Nikon D850 Handheld and Nikkor 500mm f4
    ISO 2000
    f4
    1/2000
    Manual Mode
    Processed on LR and PS. Neat image for background noise reduction
    Full Frame, remove some from the bottom and added on top.


    All C & C's will be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks for looking

    Excellent pose and details from a bird less commonly seen in flight. Sharp with great details. The underwings show a slight amount of noise from RAW conversion and I wish the BG was a touch more uniform

    Nice to see you posting again and great in flight pose. Great details as well. Love that you have one in flight and not perched on some typical set up branch with perfect background. Agree that I wish the background was more uniform.

    WOW! This is excellent Juan! It is not often we see these guys in flight.
    I think the BG is fine for my tastes.
    Blacks look good and that bit of a head turn really adds a lot,

    PS I like the new signature!

    I'd say WOW too! great details and pose wonderful colours. If you were inclined a reduction in contrast and possibly saturation to the background may help.

    The perfect sharpness and bright colors of this beauty is enough to let me miss the busy background although some background desaturation will raise it a level or two. Lovely shot, well done mate!

    Hi Juan, great flight pose, and love the view of head and bill. Colours really pop, sharp, and the overall exposure looks good. Well captured.

    You nailed it! Love the detail pose and the lifted feet. Good exposure. Looking forward to more from CR. TFS
