Ground Hornbill

[Sanjeev Aurangabadkar]

A Ground hornbill off-the-ground in western Serengeti, TZ. I wish the small OOF stick was not there near the tail. I did not try to clone it out.

I love the heart shape of the pose, as well as the look back head angle. Good details. The shadow on the upright branch is unfortunate IMO. Did you take some in-camera verticals as well?

Lov2 the heart shaped wings but that OOF stick is a real bummer.

Nice details and pose. The OOF stick is not ideal but it seems like it would be tough to remove. The exposure looks good and I like that you can see the eye lashes pretty well. Nice BG. TFS

Cool looking bird love that red around the eye. Great background here.

Excellent shot of this species, Sanjeev. Another one I tried to photograph but the opportunities eluded me. I really like the framing created by the vertical branch and the pose on the bird. Unfortunate about the OOF twig in the foreground. I like the detail and tone you've attained on the black feathers. Overall, a frame I'd be very happy with if mine.
