Taken in San Jose Province, Costa Rica. Canon R5/Canon EF 600mm f/4 L IS USM
Our group spent an absolutely wonderful afternoon on a farmer's hillside waiting to take pictures of a male quetzal. It didn't take long since the first one appeared roughly 20 minutes after we all had set up. The beautiful bird sat on a moss covered perch next to a small avocado tree.
I really like the shimmering iridescent effect of the quetzal's feathers. In working with my new photo printer, I found that this was one of the few photos that looked spectacular when printed on a metallic luster paper.
