    Beautifully colored bird. Nice spread on those tail feathers. Exposure of whites looks good. Nice job.

    I like the clarity in this. Pin sharp, well exposed colours, and great flash work too. Very well captured Dan.

    Great details, exposure control and eye contact, the fanned tail puts it over the top for me.

    Lovely pose and terrific detail throughout! It was a pleasure getting to know you in Costa Rica Dan! Your knowledge about birds was a real asset for everyone on the trip.

    Great pose. Well done for exploiting the strengths of the 80-400mm.
