Annick,

Very nicely done! I haven't seen a bird in your gallery for some time now - its something right up my alley :) This is a cool shot. You've captured a bird that seems so exotic to me. We don't have anything like it out in my area. Very well executed. TFS.

Best Regards,

Martin

Hi Annick, you have linked your notes with Wikipedia. Wikipedia should link to your page; you have the better shot. This is another fine example of this bird.. The pose is a good one with the bird showing the great detail on its back, while it turns it's head to give us this great profile. The detail you have here is very good, with great colour seen on the bird and a great contrasting backdrop with that blue sky.

Thanks, John

Hello My Friend,
What a beak on this one Annick, you would think it heavy, but I'm sure nature has made it light for him somehow. This great composition with him captured in a nice pose shows him off well. As does your great camera work that results in a sharp and colorful image, thank you Annick.

Technically outstanding photo with amazing detail, beautiful rich color tones, and excellent eye contact.
(My opinion regarding composition: it seems the crop at top is too tight and that also places the diagonal branch at the exact vertical center of the frame. I tried a workshop giving you a little more sky at top. Hope you like).

Hello Annick,
I love the look of this Hornbill, it is beautiful and funny at the same time. Excellent sharp capture in good light. Nice to see the back plumage with the head turned in profile. Well done.

By the way, what was the distance from which this photo was taken?

Hi Annick,

Ik vindt dit oer lelijke vogels maar je hebt hem/haar er wel FANTASTISCH opstaan
Schitterende compo en een prachtige achtergrond waar tegen hij perfect afsteekt
