Oh What a Long Tail
Species: Resplendent Quetzel | Location: Sevegre, Costa Rica
After a patient wait for an hour or so I was rewarded with this fantastic pose of a very beautiful bird. Due to the angle and the length of the tail the aperture is closed as far as I dare to try and get the bird and that very long tail all in focus. This is also why the ISO is turned up.
