Hi everybody! Here's another shot from the short trip I did searching for hotspots in Buenos Aires. This guys are not easy but the place I found it's just magical this is the Male, soon I'll post the female (yellow), soon I will be taking nature photographers there! Hope you like it. Enjoy!

Like the comp, sweet background and catch light in subjects eye. May be a little more space on the top and bottom?

[Fernando Cerra]

Very sharp, beautiful colors ! I think a vertical composition would work better

[Glenn Bartley]

Oooooh......this is nice.......love the red and the green together.....but I think a vertical would be the way to go here.

Lovely bird and BKGR and the techs are right on. For me, a bit more room above would have been great. In most cases there should be more room above the bird than below.

[Mark Schmitt]

Great bird. Nice capture of it. I might add a little more canvas at the top of the frame. Good luck on the tours and hope to see more images.

[Judy Lynn Malloch]

Love this Ramon. What a beautiful species. My only wish would also be for a tad more room but love this wonderful simplicity of this image. Congratulations and thanks for sharing.

[Ramon M. Casares]

Thank you all for you comments and thoughts, I apreciete them :) Is this any better? I tryed the vertical crop but ut just didn't work as the bird felt too tight in the frame.

[Fernando Cerra]

It is better, very nice.
Regards

Excellent work Ramón. Fantastic color balance for me and the repost is a bit nicer too with the added space. :)

[Juan Aragonés]

I think the repost is much better. Terrific details, pose and BG. Very well done!

[Arthur Morris]

The re-post is the bomb. Way to go.
