$100.00

About the Artwork

  • The Story: This captivating wildlife photograph captures an exquisite Amazonian Motmot perched on a tree branch, showcasing its light bluish-green plumage, vibrant yellow breast, and striking dark mask around its eyes. Wandering the grounds of San Jose in search of unfamiliar tropical species, I initially spotted the bird heavily camouflaged and peeking out from behind dense canopy branches. Patiently tracking its movements paid off beautifully when the bird hopped onto a clear branch completely almost free of obstructing twigs, revealing its full, magnificent profile against the surrounding jungle growth. Read the full behavioral guide and travel narrative on my website in the [Wildlife Photography in Costa Rica: Art, Ethics & Adventure] blog post.

  • The Technique: Captured on location using a high-resolution Nikon Z8 mirrorless camera and a powerful 200-500mm Nikkor zoom lens mounted on a stable tripod with a fluid gimbal head, using a steady visual stakeout to pin a razor-sharp focus on the motmot's distinctive eye mask the moment it emerged from the thick foliage branches.
