I made a post just over a week ago after I returned from Colombia. As I had more time, I continued to cull and process my images. Here are some more. All taken in the Caldas region of Colombia.
Thanks for looking.

Jason, these are absolutely stunning. This FM form has such amazing talent and everyone keep pushing the bar higher and higher. Thanks for sharing. It definitely earns my vote.
Jason ......... absolutely stunning work! Congrats on getting that Sword Billed Hummer sharp from eye to tip of sword
The action caught of the Mask Billed Flower Piercer is incredible, what dynamics and depth in color as well. Hard to pick but 4, 7 & 8 are standouts for me with #7 being perhaps my all time favorite image of this bird and there has been many posted.
YGMV, you nailed the details and color depth

Fantastic set Jason!
I'm amazed you got such a clean shot of an Antpitta.
Thanks for sharing
Richard
Thanks Richard. The Tapaculo and Antpittas don't appear frequently and for very long. Some local guides knew how to find them.

Thanks Dave. The lodges I stayed at have nice perches allowing for these backgrounds.

A delight to view Jason. 6 and 11 are my faverate from this wonderful set
Morris
Thank you Morris. I had a very difficult time getting the Toucan in flight. I tried with my 600 and failed so I had to give more frame space with the 100-400.

Thanks Karl. I always enjoy reading your thorough, well written comments. I find the front feathers of the Antpittas to have such a lovely pattern.
