Hi Peter/neighbour

I saw these several times in the Llanos of Venezuela, but never got more than a blurred shot. Excellent capture - great detail and POV.

Hoi Peter,
Wat een geweldig mooie vogel, zeer apart en veel details, het oogje vind ik zeer speciaal. Hij is ook wel speciaal voor je aan het poseren lijk wel.
Proficiat.

Hallo Peter,
Prachtige vogel. Een Lalique..:-)
Alphen a.d. Rijn...ben er ooit een keertje geweest en kan me deze niet herinneren. Vraag me af of ie in die 'open kooi' gefotografeerd is?
Mooi gedaan!
Bedankt

Hi Peter,
This one comes with fantastic clarity and sharpness, a very fine image with a PoV that highlights the colourful plumage of this bird.I find the concentrated groupings of colour combinations and patterns on its plumage and tail end quite interesting ....that red eye is like ruby placed there...the natural environment aorund adds to the beauty of the scene.
Well done.
TFS & Cheers

Hi Peter.
What a wonderful shot and great quality of it. I am impressed a lot. Pictured scene is amazing, reproduction of the bird and rocks, BG and nice green leaves as a FG are outstanding. Brilliant work. Bravo.

Hi Peter,
very clear and well isolated presentation in a well composed image, subtle colours of a broad spectre of different hues.
Pleasant natural settings. Thank you!
With best regards,

Try as I might Peter, I cannot be as sharp so often as most such as yours here...An editorial photographer is always ready for the unexpected. nature is only a few months over a year to me...and I still learn from you and others in images such as this. And I am always surprised at the new varieties , angles and such. Very nice image Peter.

Hello Peter,
What a beautiful Sunbittern you've captured here, a species new to me. I love its pose in good light and focus is very sharp showing great details of the beautiful markings and patterns of the plumage. Lovely colours too that stand out against the smooth background. Well done but did you capture this in Holland??
TFS and regards, Ulla

Hello Peter,
This is a beautiful capture of a Sun-bittern, a species rarely seen photographed. This shot is technically superb, including the BG and lighting, The composition and POV are also great, all of which contribute to a top image and make me go against my personal rule of avoiding photos of animals and birds taken in captivity. But one has to make an exception sometimes!
TFS.
Have a good weekend,
Ivan

Despite the bird and the BG being predominantly of the same shade of grey, the subject stands out beautifully in this sharp and crisp picture, Peter.
A well edited and artfully presented composition.
TFS and regards.
