Lazy buddy (Toucan)

[Otavio]

Hi, fellows,

This is an image I found while backing up some of my D5100 images. I just reprocessed it. This beautiful toucan was asleep. I was cautious for not waking him up when shooting. Thanks for viewing.

PS.: I already received my new camera, (Nikon D5200) and a Prime Nikkor 50mm 1.8 lens. I will soon take some days off and try these new toys during my trip to Galápagos Islands. Hope I will have some nice images to share when I'm back...

2 - As per Frank's request, taken some minutes later (with the eyelid open)


Cheers!

Great shot, Otavio. What a beautiful bird. That eye is fascinating.

Thank you Greg. I did like its eyes, too. These birds have incredible colors. Kindest regards!

Oh how beautiful! I also like the eyes. And this I must mention -- I like the way you cropped the shot too (fill up the frame).

Nice image.

What a superb image, Otávio! I would not have expected the eyelid to look like that! At least I think the blue is an eyelid? If so, it would be interesting to compare when the bird is awake to see the difference.

Beautifully done. Have a great trip and enjoy your new gear.

Hello, Frank. Good hearing from you. Yes, the blue part is its eyelid. I have added a second image, showing how it looks like with the eyelid open! Hope you like it. Thanks for viewing. Regards,

Really beautiful images! Bright and colourful. Now that I know what's going on, the open eyelid is really quite stunning in its beauty.
