Oh, come on, these are out of this world good!!
I loved every one of them. That male COR is amazing! Very different than the Peruvian variety.
Outstanding images all around, congrats on what looks like an amazing journey.
Wow...amazing 3 day variety. I've never seen that version of the COR before. Only the andean one. Excellent set, I will now go back and look at them again.
A super set Kester. Each of these is great. 1 stands out because it is such a stunning bird, and the potoo also stands out because I have never seen one with open eyes ~ Ron
I really love this set. The bright eye of the cock of the rock, the beautiful jacamar and vermillion flycatcher, the doubtless difficult-to-find-and-photograph potoo and nightjar, the sharp capture of the vulture as it is turning in the air. Best of all, you include a very rare bird and another species' courtship display.
You might think about blurring the branch that touches the owl's tail--consider it an after-the-fact adjustment in DOF--if you don't believe it's right to paint out parts of a nature photo. And perhaps experiment with non-standard crops for one or two photos.
I voted for this for featured thread and wish it were later in the "week" so more people would have a chance to do the same.
