Story from behind the lens: Came across this Narina Trogon, in soft, but low early morning light - as usual, moving in and out of deep shade and shadows. Despite the wide-open aperture, exposure compensation and high ISO, managed to capture the spectacular colour range that it displays. A rare chance.
