    This was taken in Costa Rica. The Motmot landed in a bad spot so I cropped this about 50 percent. All C&Cs are welcome and appreciated.

    Very nice feather detail and eye contact. As with your Golden-Hooded Tanager, I find the saturation (particularly the blue crown) to be a little subdued. Otherwise very nice!

    Hi, Jim. The crop certainly held up on the presentation -- here detail looks just great. The soft light really helped bring out the colors.

    Cheers,
