A very pretty little bird. Nice shot, good framing. Central America certainly has some interesting birds.

Definitely has the WOW factor. Beautifully done.

Very nice shot of a stunning little fella.

What a great capture! That is one beautiful bird and a very well taken shot.

Excellent shot! I love that the iris colour matches the "pantaloons".

Spectacular colours!

Nice & sharp.

Very nice shot. For colorful birds in the Netherlands, you need to go to a zoo. You could hunt down a kingfisher, but that is about it over here.

Thanks for all the kind comments!

Was this a hand-held shot - tripod, monopod, maybe the gear resting on a branch, or fence-top?? For a shot with a 450mm focal length at 1/350s, excellent focus and sharpness.

Somebody should tell that little bird his beautiful (aquamarine? turquoise?) blue clashes with the particular shade of green of that bush. It certainly makes him "pop" out of the photograph, though, as swip said in a post above.

Wow, very pretty bird. I see why it's named "scarlet-thighed" but kind of surprised the name doesn't say anything about the striking blue.
