The holy grail of bird photographers is here, in costa rica! Resplendence, elegance and much sheen, all combined into one flying pixie, the resplendent quetzal. The green wonder leaves behind a trail of glitter and aww and one cannot help but feel like experiencing a tale straight out of the fabled childhood chronicles.
that is one impressive looking bird. lovely shot, with the moss covered branch and the bokeh. very nicely done supreet. You should print this one and hang it on your wall. BTW, it seems we are friends with quite a few folks in common.
Yes, very lovely and wonderful bird - well captured with clean background, Supreet! I was happy to be able to see that guy, too and yes, it was in Costa Rica

Absolutely perfect shot! Was it a hard hike to reach this one?
It was a bit of a hike, although i must say that more than the hike the speed at which we had to get to spot from the parking area was exhausting (since the bird was visible on an avocado tree). It was a bit steep as well.
