It's a fantastic capture ! Bravo. 7/7

Thank you Sagnik for your kind words.  Aloha.

Muy buena captura. Saludos

Too much contrast, the bird lacks details on the plumage, ciao Giangiorgio

Excelente nitidez y excelente luz y composición.

Thank you Giangiorgio for your honest appraisal.   This was, perhaps, my 3rd outing with my new Canon EOS 7D.   I walked into the sanctuary with tripod on shoulder, and my camera set to the rain forest where I was previously shooting, and here this fellow magically appears and put on a show for me! This was captured hand held with with no tripod and a 400mm lens, but I could not just watch. The best part of the photo is the composition.   But, I am happy I got you to look at one of my photos.  Your bird photography is outstanding and I can only aspire to approach the mastery you publish here at PN.  Aloha.

beautiful capture

A wonderful capture, a moment frozen in time. Beautiful photography, bravo.
