This Common Potoo was spotted at night by a Peruvian Amazon Voyage expedition leader using
a search light. Because the eyes of potoos are highly reflective, eye color correction in PS
was needed following the flash exposure.
In this image, the feather coloration and pattern enable the bird to appear as an extension of the branch on which it is perched.
All comments and suggestions are welcome.
