Great setting Ken, and enviroment adds, and bonus prey too.
Tree is Acacia isnt it?
Nicely done
might try a bit more contrast and colour on the bird if mine

Nice scene with the Hornbill nestled in the tree with his or her snack. Maybe brighten up the bird a little bit. Well done.

Very nice natural setting and great eye contact.

Hi Ken, good look back pose with prey, and I feel you have the plumage well exposed. Glad you captured most of him in the open.

Terrific image, Ken. Love the pose, the exposure appears right on, the comp, the head turn toward you. The catch makes it even better. Love the bird against those greens.
