Well Annick, that serious looking funny bird again, in a posture reminiscing some of our famous orators, full of hot air! On the other hand, your expertise is again evident in this perfect capture, the low POV included the whole bird, including the loong tail, within the vertical frame and the shallow DOF cleared much of the clutter in the BG while the critical focus rendered the plumage and the majestic beak in full detail. TFS indeed!

Hi Annick,
Details and sharpness are great in this shot. Colors are nice, too. I like the bird with it's mouth open, good timing.
The background is a bit agitated, but it shows the hornbill in a natural surrounding.

Well done

Well captured open beak. The curved bill and eye makes this one mean looking bird. Appropriate framing and DOF.

I love this. The placement of the bird and especially the open mouth is perfect. Besides being beautifully composed and exposed and sharp, it has so much "life" in it.
