Southern Ground Hornbill male

[Bill Dix]

Near Little Vumbura camp, Botswana, last February. Yes, a bit of head turn would have been nice.

D500, Sigma 150-600C @ 320mm, ISO 1250, 1/2500s @ f/7.1 manual.

The open bill is nice. Like all the grasses. head turn looks fine to me.

[Arthur Morris]

I like the head angle. EXP, SH and image design are all perfect. The only thing missing is a big fat ugly bug between the mandibles.

with love, artie

Nice open bill capture, Bill. Like the SH detail, and choice of crop. Beautiful overcast light.

Very pleasing image, lovely soft light. In a perfect world a bug suspended between the mandibles would have been a nice touch :S3:

[Bill Dix]

Thank you all. I'll try to find one with a bug next time.
