Hi Livio!
I've never seen this beautifull bird during flight. Absolutelly fantastic capture my friend! Toucan looks amazing, especially its big, orange beak. Far more better than other flying birds :-) Grey sky isn't maybe best, but not bad at all also. Really good work Livio!

Wow, Livio, what a fantastic shot.
I have never seen a picture of a toucan in flight.
It is true that that huge beak would seem to mitigate against graceful flying, but I can see that it is not true.
Very sharp details and amazing colors.
So good to see you back.
TFS. : )

Hi Livio,
What a great shot of this toucan.
Perfect reflection of its pose and wing-movement. OK, I agree that a blue sky is desirable, but this is really a special picture, so it doesn't matter. Complimetns with this picture.
Regards, Ruud

Hi Livio,
This is true..when the moment arrives, many times you face less-than-perfect conditions..It's what you do, with what you've got, that the rubber meets the road :)
Excellent inflight of this toucan. I don't really remember seeing many here at TN at all. A great contribution/post mf.
Well done and Thank you!

Hi Livio,
I believe this is the fist in flight shot on a Toucan that I have ever observed. Excellent job under some difficult light conditions. Sounds like this is a first for TN here. Well done!

Wow! Excellent capture Livio, it is especially a bonus for me as I really enjoy toucans a lot. This is an excellent exposure of a toucan flying. Way to go Livio. :)

Great in-flight shot. Nice timing, well composed, crisp, clear and tack sharp. Good depth of colour. Nice work. TFS.

Hi Livio,
Beautiful capture, lovely details and good colours. Exposure is good to avoid silhouetting the bird. A blue sky would be nice but as you say, we don't get to choose :-) Great shot.

Adrian

Hi Livio,

great in-flight, this is the first toucan in-flight I've seen!

I did a "bluesky" workshop for you, see comments in the workshop.
Focus was spot-on, not easy at all with a moving target and no reference points. Very well done!

Regards,
Gabi

P.S. Out of smileys for today - shall smile later!

Amazing shot Livio. Getting any bird in flight is hard, but a toucan is fantastic.
The head and bill are perfectly sharp and the blur in the wings infers movement. I think its great.

Livio,

Absolutely great action pic. The compostion, POV and detail are all excellent. The focus is very sharp for an "in flight" pic. TFS,

Livrio,

Well done. Very well timed. What a beautiful bird the toucan is. I have seen them in the wild only very rarely. You are a lucky man.

Hi Livio, it is great to see you posting again. I love the look of these birds - it is as if they had blown-up rubber beaks. Such a good capture in flight, especially showing us the aerodynamics of his body in flight. Well done,
Janice

Hi Livio,

Nice shot. We allways see these birds on a branch or a stand. For me it's the first time I see one flying.

Focus and exposure are good. Composition is simple, but effective. The BG is excellent, with sufficent details and texture but not obstructive.

Great shot and TFS.

Hi Livio,
Nature isn't always perfect by supplying us with a blue sky. Your photo was taken in a natural setting with natural colours. The lighter coloured sky just makes me focus more on the Toucan. Composition and colours are great. Janice

Es increíble ver los que has logrado con el tiempo querido amigo de Trek.
Desde un principiante que no conocía muy bien su cámara hasta estos resultados realmente espectaculares.
Me alegra realmente volver a TrekNature para encontrarme con fotos como las tuyas.
Excelente captura en vuelo de una hermosa ave.
Volviendo a mi antiguo sistema de crítica, aquí está mi opinion de esta foto.

Composition: ****
Sharpness: ****
Color: ****
DOF: ****
POV: *****
Note: ***

Un gran saludo... Ricardo

Hi Livio, good shot! I don't believe I've seen a Toucan flying before. Well done on the capture. My only nit would be that I'd like to see both wings clearly. Well done.

*I've turned off my points, I cannot recieve and I cannot give. I'm sorry for the latter*

Sharp action shot.
the motion blur at the tip of the wings is a plus.
I've seen the same in Brazil but both me and my camera were too slow.
