[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Here is another bird that I photographed at Phoenix Zoo aviary the White-cheeked Turaco, I'm learning that the zoo is a great place to photograph and to make the best of it not including any captivity paraphernalia in the pictures to give a more sense of freedom and wilderness. Any tips?



The White-cheeked Turaco (Tauraco leucotis) is a species of bird in the Musophagidae family. It is found in Eritrea, Ethiopia, and Sudan.

Hi Everton,

Your zoo pictures are getting better and better! Even though they are not flying free you are introducing us to birds we probably would never see. This is a beautiful example. Lovely looking bird with pretty colors in a good pose with a pleasing background.

Hello, Everton.
What an interesting looking bird.
Beautiful colors on those feathers.
I think you did a great job of isolating the subject from zoo BG.
Great DOF helps a lot.

Hello Everton,

Very nice presentation of this exotic looking bird. Good POV, DOF and sharpness. Very nice colours. I like the colour of the background which is a mix of the colours of the bird.
Cheers,
