Excellent image there, Werner. Glad that you started posting again. I didn't see you, well, your images, that is, for a while. As Helena mentioned earlier, Gregg hasn't posted for quite sometime, too. I hope everything is OK with him and his family.
Here is another image that I recently discovered from Costa Rica. Not explicitly a wildlife/bird image since it shows the surrounding area more. Let's call it environmental bird image then and as such, I didn't crop the surrounding area, which renders the image a little bit like a painting.
Beautiful! So much like a painting. You get a very beautiful and slightly unreal color and light out of your very judicious and skillful use of flash.

Tewksbury and it's Abbey is a regular haunt, last Sunday I got there just after the morning service and the incense fumes still lingering up in the roof created a searchlight effect with the low October sun.

Thank you very much, Peter! The green color of the background is from the other slope of the valley and in this case, we are looking at a few miles away. My idea of flash usage is very subtle that it wouldn't be noticeable as such. Frankly, there are two factors that help create that image the way it is, the quality of that Canon lens is superb and the capability of the Sony Exmor sensor is equally superb. It is like a match made in heaven, like I mentioned before.

Amazing shot, lovely colours, detail and framing!
Thank you very much! I also enjoy your images very much so.
Here is another image from a recent photoshoot "What dreams are made of"
Still amazed at the IQ that a 30 yr old lens can produce. I had an adapted Tamron Di DP 90mm Macro, and the IQ was no better, and in some cases worse, than the legacy Vivitar (may have been a bad copy ?), so it went back to the vendor.
