Nailed another one Gina. Perhaps a bit over done on white high lights and should be an easy fix. I was in Patagonia last year looking for that same darn Trogon. Nice perch and not sure if you can give a bit more room in front of bird. Good going. Dave

Hi Dave:

Here's another version. Still no more room in front ~ I see what you mean. When Trogon leaves Patagonia, you can usually find them in Madera Canyon on the Carrie Nation trail. Found them there a couple of weeks later. The Flame Coloured Tanager usually shows up at Madera Kubo B&B, Madera Canyon later part of March or early April, stays about 3 to 4 months.

Well composed and executed Gina,
I like the second version the best...my personal taste...:Dthe color rendition is good and the details are superb...the perch adds allot to this composition; it gives it character...and the soft pale background takes it over the top...well done...:):cool:

Agree with Gus, the second one is the one. Congrats Aunt Gina

Like them both Gina. Very pretty, and I like the different shades of brown together. Well done!
