  1. The quetzal lives in the montane cloud forests of Panama, Central America and southern Mexico. Its spectacular plumage, more intense than any photograph can show, glitters an iridescent blue and green. The adult males have what appear to be long tail feathers although they come from the wings. When the male takes off, he falls backward to protect these feathers. They have been called the most magnificent bird in the Americas. Few who have seen them doubt it.

    Not all people who rate pictures here get to see the comments. You have a lot of superb photos in your portfolio. My comment probably expressed more my view of fusing things in a bird/nature/natural area. I just believe this sets your photo into the category of Digital Alteration not Birds.

    It comes out with a great picture, but only rated it low because there wasn't an indication of a fusion of two pictures in the title. I felt cheated. I felt like I was set-up, just like watching a biased perspective on the evening news.
  2. Male Resplendent Quetzal taken at the QERC, SNU Field Station, San

    Gerardo de Dota. He would perch in a Lauraceae tree (wild

    avocado). They are shy, but also like to hide in the cover of the

    leaves of the lauracae tree.

    I think I'd crop the left side where the focus is in the back to bring the eyes to the front. Just my viewpoint. You have some excellent pictures.

    I cropped it in PE and used some of the automatic features of PE, but went back and toned the color down a bit. The Lorikeet was sitting in the sun loving his attention and was extremely irridescent.
