    Last year in Kruger came across a Southern Ground Hornbill preening in a sycamore fig tree..........the BG was distracting and light harsh so I decided to zoom in and try something different ...hope you like it....full frame...D2xs 200-400 wimberley plus car mount.

    Interesting. Some guy once wrote: Bad light: think tight! As I looked at the thumbnail I could not make out what you did. Best of all: accurate focus on the eye.

    Definitely different perspective Peter. Takes a bit to see what is going on. Wish there was a little more detail in the dark feathers, but given the lighting, you might not have had any choice.

    Love the comp on this! If I were to find a nit, it would be to add some more canvas on the right.
