Taken on a field trip to the Atlantic zone in Costa Rica. This bird is relative of the famous Quetzal. Post processing includes cropping, sharpening and resizing.

beautiful bird....great composition too. The photo looks like it has been over-sharpened....maybe it is just my perception. I gather this was taken with a long telephoto lens.....love the depth of field too
I like the vibrant colors and composition, but the image suffers from blown out highlights and jpeg artifacts and pixelation. Was the original photo greatly zoomed in?
Very nice. The only thing I would have changed is a closer crop or more zoom on the bird, as there seems to be too much going on in the photo that distracts me from the subject.
