That's an absolutely stunning portrait of this beautiful bird! Love the detail and vivid colours; you must have managed to get quite close. I very much like the jet-black sickle-shaped bill with beige highlights and how we can see the eyelashes even. Great head turn and eye contact, too. The whole composition consists mostly of dark brown, black and pale, but it actually makes it more attractive.

Wow, brilliant close-up of this impressive hornbill. Great eye contact, focus, dof, colors, feather detail, and setting. Top-notch Bill!
