    This was taken in the cloud forest in Costa Rica. The light was coming in from the back right side. Cloned out an OOF leaf above the head and flash catchlight. All C&Cs are appreciated and welcome.

    A nice image of this Flycatcher Jim. Exposure is great with the flash well managed to bring out the colours nicely.

    Beautiful shot, Jim. Loved the composition, HA and bokeh. Terrific flash work.

    Hi Jim, Nice looking subject well composed would like just a tad more HA and I would also lighten the area around the face.

    Even with the head leaned back I love this one for the soft light and the fluffiness. And the killer sweet BKGR.
