I have found myself an internet cafe down here and thought I'd post another image from Ecuador. This is the male Masked Trogon which I found in the Tandayapa Valley.
I also just updated my site with a bunch of new photos, blogs, video's, etc. if anyone is interested - www.glennbartley.com
All the best!

Love the shot. like the clean BG the colours and the eye contact. I have followed your blog and updated shots and am very envious of what you are doing up there, love the shots! Keep up the terrific work.....
Glenn, what can I say?
OK, I will say this is outstanding, the eye contact, BG, perch and of course your subject are great. As Krijn, I also went to your page to see your work and man, that's something else!
You look much younger in the video than on the picture you have in your page, I guess that's good! ha, ha ha.

Once again lovely photo..I was surprised how much the Masked Trogan resembles the Elegant Trogan, I can't wait until next year, Ecuador and Galapagos...Hope your taking notes...lolol...Seriously...can't wait for next one...Paul
Overall beautiful photo and the small fresh leaf and spider web only adds to the picture in my eyes.
The only nit picking I can do are the multiple eye highlights tend to pull my eye, but like I say I'm really reaching for suggestions.
Send us more from Ecuador .

Glenn, this is an extremely beautiful image! I just love all the colors and details that you have captured so well. Amazing work so far, and I can't wait to read more about your travels...they have me itching for some time off work and a cheap ticket from Miami to Quito. Good luck! :)
