Turquoise-blue Motmot

Photo taken in Coco Beach, Costa Rica 03/12. The bird did not seem to mind my company when taking a picture, it flew right on to a branch where I was walking. Probably a show off on the good looks :)

Image edited in post to enhance the composition.

Nice job against the high key bg, John. Excellent head turn. If you're into cloning, I think I'd remove the odd twig or whatever that's coming in from the right side-it's enough in focus to form a bit of a distraction.
