Orange Breasted Trogon - Female (Juvenile)

[Phil Liew]

This was taken last year at Bukit Tinggi, Pahang

This juvenile Orange Breasted Trogon was having a feast with a praying mantis.

The system was locked down with mirror lockup to reduce vibrations.

You got a clean look of this trogon Phil. What a cool snack too! I might crop a little off the bottom, and sharpen the eye a tad less. Thanks for posting!

Nice image of a cool bird. Pretty sharp for 1/10

This is amazingly sharp at 1/10 sec. Plus, the bird had to stay still. The flash surely helped with the sharpness. I love the BKGR and the bird. And the prey item. I wish that the bird were sitting up more and that the perch were thinner. All in all, a remarkable image.
