Silver Cheeked Horn bill

Saw this amazing bird for the first time (Lake Manyara, Kenya) Could not get a clear shot, there were too many twigs in the way. This was the best.

Sanjeev,

What an amazing bird,..couple of opportunities here. Remove twigs in ULHC, the darks are blocked try shadows and highlights and/or levels and crop some of the distracting elements from the right side. The angle is steep but to capture a species like this, I would have taken the picture too - keep em coming.
