    Luis:

    A big welcome to BPN, a great place to learn and grow as a nature photographer.

    An amazingly blue fellow, with nice red legs to set it off. Pleasant background, but I might be tempted to remove the material above, while leaving the hanging items on left.

    Nicely sized perch for him.

    My first impression is that the image is a bit oversaturated, but I don't know this bird personally, so perhaps it is accurate.

    Be sure to include your camera/lens and post processing info so we can understand the creation of the photo better'

    Cheers

    Randy

    Hola Luis

    Nice RLH you have there! Bit oversharpened I think, bit of a halo round the beak. Color close to real Randy, they are very blue in reality.
    Nice to see another member from Costa Rica, my favorite place.

    The Bg is fantastic for this species. I would trim some off the top. Beautiful image.

    Beautiful bird and vibrant background! Nice pose. Not super crazy about the perch but overall effective. I agree with trimming some off the top, and I too would like to see the exif (camera, lens, camera settings at time of capture, etc...)

    A big welcome to BPN Luis!!
