Greetings everyone from Costa Rica! My workshop is coming to a close, and I thought I'd share an image from this morning. This is a beautiful Toucan sitting on a nest near the Arenal Volcano. We never saw its mate, but this bird spent quite a bit of time looking at our group. We were a considerable distance from the bird, but one of the workshop participants had an 800mm lens with a 1.4x and graciously allowed others to use the combination. The OOF green at the bottom of the image is an OOF foreground tree. I removed a small leaf above the bird's head and a small portion of a leaf below its mandible. This is most of full frame. I'll be home tomorrow. Pura Vida! :)
