    Nothing beats watching Toucans raid a fig tree; and I know Im looking up, they live in the trees you know but then this shows the stunning red off nicely!

    Captured fully wild, Puerto Viejo De Talamanca whilst walking through the forest on my own

    Raw processed in DPP, finished in PS5,removed slight piece of leaf from bill

    Great shot Rich love the colours. I would consider taming those highlights a little though.

    Good morning Jon, thanks
    I would appreciate a PM regards "dulling" the bright spots" I try various methods but am never sure on method.

    Spectacular colors on this bird. You have done well with the exposure although the yellows on the neck are a bit hot.
