Hi Annick, what a beautiful photographic style you have. This is such a nice picture of this bird. Look at the wing ending at the tip of the branch, it is definitely a great composition. I am sure you do not predict ahead of time these details but somewhere you see it, you must have a fast mind. What a beautiful picture to introduce us to this bird. I really like your work. Thank you.

Hello Annick
Very nice posture and sharp photo of a Tockus leucomelas (Yellowbilled hornbill)a very common bird in the Kruger park
But I it looks a bit too brownish to me,the reason could be the morning light?
I tried a workshop to get the belly more white but finally I prefer your photo!
Kind regards
Albert

This is a powerful portrait Annick, showing the Hornbill in a characteristic pose, busy with its alula feathers. A perfect POV provides us with a high degree of details on plumage and coloration. TFS my friend.

I hate to sound like a broken record all the time... but this is simply a fantastic nature image.

No sane person would disagree with that.

The moment you captured is fabulous. From a pure nature perspective this is a great photograph. The overall technical and photographic quality is as good as it gets AND it is perfectly composed.

What more could possibly be said?

Hallo Annick,
Deze vind ik nog mooier dan de vorige. De scherpe blik in de ogen van deze Toks is altijd zo indrukwekkend. Perfect heldere foto weer met een fantastische compositie.
Ga even een week op wintersport. Ik kijk nu al uit naar jouw volgende foto's.
Groet,
Peter

You must have had fun taking pictures of this bird. I have commented on the more recent one you posted, which I like especially because of the texture. For this one above, it is obvious that the pose is priceless. Late afternoon sun gave tones with great warmth.

One thing, if I may. I noticed a few halos from oversharpening, in particular the ones under the beak and under the branches.
