I thought it would be fun to start posting cheery, bright birds during these depressing times.
Wild and free.They are so hard to shoot with that long tail. This guy came down low from the top of the trees and stayed and preened for about 10 minutes. So exciting!
Costa Rica 2019
Canon 1 DX, 600mm
ISO 1600 SS 1/640 F 4.5
Nothing added or cloned. About 85% FF.
I wish I had a bit more room at the top. And now that I see this posted I would smooth out the spot where the light is shining through the foliage at the tip of tail.
Comments and critiques always learned from and appreciated with thanks,
