Oh my goodness. I can't imagine walking peacefully along a path and then finding this "beast". How absolutely beautiful he is and you caught him with your lens! He is sharp and easy for us to see with a nicely chosen dof you softened the background and serendipitous that the background is colour co-ordinated. I like your crop and compositional style and the diagonal slant on which this prince sits! I wonder where this was taken...in Costa Rica perhaps? Nice one.

Fantastic picture. Congratulations.
