Rich I think this is a fine shot, the noise is well controlled, the detail is great and you have a nice catch-light in the eye. The background is unobtrusive, though ideally the big pale areas could be disguised a little if you thought this ethical.

Hi Richard, good lookback pose, and I do like the colours and sharpness. Yep, sounds like you were lucky to get an open view of this fellow.

I am always happy when I spot a Trogon. I have never seen this one. I like the look back pose, feather detail and sharpness.

The BG ain't too bad from where I sit. Nice colours and sharpness (although I do have a feeling that critical focus was on the rump). I also wish the head was cocked down rather than up. Good vertical comp, and thanks for sharing yet another new "exotic" (new for me!)

Hi Richard,
Daniel took the words right out of my mouth. I think you should walk around with a big step ladder and bring yourself to eye level with all these wonderful species you are introducing to us!!

Hi Daniel and Gail You are correct on CF, in that this shows as being centralised top of bacl/left; however I was shooting with "expanded focus range" and the uppermost point of 5 sits on the head. I think sharpness ok on head though I now use single point, small most of the time. I do have many to process as I have just started working through these Gail a ladder wud be good; In fact for this shot I was standing on a second floor balcony around the jungle house and was just about level with him. Trogons seem to be found offering look back pose more often than not, and I have observed that they almost always cock their heads over I will post up another tomorrow which you might find a lot better. I am glad members enjoy the birds I have been able to capture.

I would say you got a bird with a very clean and interesting BG. a typical rain forest BG! Good details and as mentioned above, sharpness seems to be on the rump but the eye is still sharp enogh.
