Hi Annick,

I just love the pose of this Hornbill! The look on his face is priceless. That's quite a bill and quite a tail. Wonderful natural colors and excellent details of the face, wings and plummage. A fantastic eye.

Hi Annick,

I was fascinated by Hornbills as teenager, partly a product of living at a Bird Zoo for a while and working there most weekends. This Southern Yellow-Bill is a beauty and you have managed to photograph him beautifully on at least 5 occasions, althouh I suspect you have more in your collection. Technically excellent and a lovely pose from the bird.

Very impressive hero. I like your picture very much, but the model is really wonderful. It can play a role of evildoer in a performance without any doubt.
I think this hornbill is the best among your hornbills

I suppose it would take a bit of agility to keep a tail like that looking good. It is a very interesting capture. It was fortuitous that you were able to capture him isolated against a plain sky background. Great work.

Hi Annick.
Wonderful capture of this hornbill. When I first looked at the image I thought what a strange place to have tail feathers! then I realised he turned is head :) amazing what five day on an island will do, if I were any more relaxed I'd be comatose, anyway excellent detail well framed, all the best Cheers Rick :)

Hi Annick,
Very unique pose. It is not simple, to care the delicate tail feathers, by this enormous bill.
Thank you for sharing.
Best regards,
Yedidia

Hallo Annick,
Bij picknickplaatsen in het Krugerpark struikel je soms over deze Toks (letterljk). Dit is wel een aparte opname, bezig met zijn toilet maken. Originele pose. Prachtig licht en mooie compositie.
Groet,
Peter
