This shot was taken in February 2013 in Panama City. I was high up above the tree line at the Smithsonian Institutes Canopy Crane when a pair of Keel-billed Toucans landed on a tree.
I am aware I got the apartments in the background overlooking Metropolitan Park creeping in to the photo. I however seem to like the suggestion of Toucans flying in the wild unimpeded by an urban setting, so I did not clone the apartments out. Photo was cropped and edited in Adobe Photoshop and Bridge.
Took the title 'Tropical Elegance' from an album of a Spanish band Bomba Estereo. Nothing to do with the content of the music. Just my favorite tune at the moment.
