Oriental Pied horbill potrait

[Amirtharaj Williams]

Took this picture on a big tree in the Garden with Canon 1D Mark II, 400/5.6 plus 1.4 TC. Cloned out distracting leaves and branches from around the bird. Look forward to your comments on how to improve the picture. Artie's Digital Basics has been of immense help

thanks

Interrsting bird and pose. Difficult to expose with all that black: well done. I would try to boost color saturation to reveal the head details more. There is a big halo around the bill and all around the bird.

Thanks Rene. Here is the corrected v2 of the image.
