Well, that funny bird again, managing to look so serious. A perfect capture from a good POV, in great frontal detail Annick, really would like to see one while flying, that capture would be something special...

What an amazing bird, the detail and colouration is superbly captured... the DoF is perfect, capturing the focus on the branches and the other branches fading into the background...This is my favourite image of yours I have seen for a long time...just a stunning image...TFS...

Hi Annick . A big name for a big bird. its easy to see why he is called this with his yellow bill which you have captured so well with fine detail and sharp focusing. a nice low pov looking up to the bird. well done TFS.

Very good in all aspects. Agree with previous posters. You can't have studio background in real wildlife photos like with those shot on captive birds. Good work!

Annick,
You have way too many great photos, but this one is one of my favorite. Everything is just perfect. I only seen one Hornbill when I was in Africa and couldn't get a good photo of it. What I love most here is the composition.

Bonsoir Annick
Toujours autant de finesse dans vos compositions, et la qualité technique de la photo est encore irréprochable, même si je crois me souvenir d'une photo plus amusante de cet oiseau dans votre galerie : il indiquait la direction à suivre.
Cordialement,
Antoine.

Hi Annick, this bird has that exaggerated look they give cartoon vultures with that huge beak and those very vivid yellow eyes. You have found him in a good setting to show him off nicely, with very good sharp detail and colour. The portrait format works well for this pose.

Thanks, John

Hello Annick,
This is a great image of this strange looking bird, that powerful looking bill and red skin around the eyes gives him the strange look. Your camera work is impeccable my friend, thanks.

All of your photos being so good, Annick, it is difficult to pick one to comment on. After much hesitation, this is the one I prefer on this page. Nice composition and POV. Colours are pleasingly saturated. Good texture in the plumage. And of course, great sharpness and detail. Now why can't my photos be that good!
