Lucky man! ;-) I like the soft light and the intensity of the green foliage. The head turn is almost perfect and the eye is really nice. Too bad that the tail tip is hidden. The composition works perfect for me. Good job and keep them coming

Nice detail and exposure in a very difficult environment to photograph. Pretty lighting and great eye contact. Wonderful environmental image Nikolay. Congratulations !!

What a huge bill. Great find and eye contact and too bad about the foliage covering the tip of the tail. Where is this island?

[Mervin Quah]

Axel, Pulau Ubin is the second or is it third largest island off Singapore.

Its just a 10mins boat ride away and has at least 7 confirmed hornbill nesting sites.
