    Glenn, really nice. Love the perch, and the use of off-camera flash really helped with the low, and I assume flat, natural light.

    Congrats on a great tropical bird portrait!
    Cheers,

    Nicely done, the bird is great and the perch gives good
    impression about the habitat.

    Light looks pretty amazingly natural for a 4 flash setup! Beautifully composed image with a great perch and lovely composition.

    Great perch, look-back pose and exposure control. I particularly like the raised head in this one.

    Wonderful work as usual. Amazing plumage this bird have and that perch is so typical of the cloud forests.
    A winner for sure.
