Green-Crowned Brilliant

Another image from Costa Rica with Greg Basco and Doug Brown.

This was taken in a fairly dark rain forest. Fortunately he sat still for a few seconds and gave me a nice look.

Lovely pose and complementary BG, Keith. Steel eye showing from the flash which would be worth correcting. May also be worth burning in the perch a little. Good job.

Super pose, and I like the colours captured on him. I agree with tony regarding the eye.

[Simon Bennett]

Excellent pose, sharp and I like the shared tones for bird and background.

[Ákos Lumnitzer]

Super sharp where it has to be. Nicely cropped. I would also touch up the eye. :) Thanks for sharing. :)

What lovely shimmering colours of the bird, and the great bg as well! Congrats, Keith!
