    Congratulations Greg Basco!!! Avain IOTW ending 9/3/2010: Keel Billed Toucan

    Hi, I wanted to share an image of one of the big target birds here in Costa Rica. It's hard to get a good look at these guys but I got lucky early one morning. Light was low but nice and soft. The 5D handled the necessary high ISO well, and since I had to shoot wide open to get decent shutter speed I tried wait until he turned pretty much parallel to me.

    Congratulations Greg. The delay in awarding the IOTW means that we get to see again many great images that we hadn't seen for a while! :)
