Thank you! I totally agree Venus… I've been wanting to take this picture for years. Until I got lucky a few months ago.

¡Muy bonita foto, Ronny! Fue de los quetzales anidando en Paraiso Quetzal? Yo tambien estuve alli en Abril y despues de mucha paciencia consegui fotos del macho y de la hembra! Si quieres verlas pasate por mi coleccion. Por cierto, ¡bienvenido a Project Noah!
