(canvas and tail-tip added) Last year in Costa Rica I was lucky enough to find two quetzals in different locations, the second one presenting me with only a rear view hiding his beautiful red chest ...... nevertheless.....

Very nice, Susan, great that you got the whole tail in!
In an ideal world, the perch would not be as big and if you can carefully get rid of the white spot around his tail, it would bring it one step higher.
The most famous American bird watcher ever- Roger Tory Peterson- said this was the most beautiful bird in the world. I would say that's saying something!
Excellent image, Susan - I'm returning to Costa Rica next month and have hopes to capture one myself. I saw four of them the last time I was there, but was unable to get a decent photo. The adjustment to remove the spot made the image even better!
