    Fantabulous topside view. Was the bird leaving the bush that we see in the frame or was he just flying by it?

    Very nice, great wing position and nice detail...Light and BG are great...Bit of noise visible in the wings but not a deal breaker.

    Ken, this is just plain awesome. I love the soft light, great BGD, bright eye and is that prey in the beak ? Congrats on a fine image.

    Great timing Ken, and I like the placement in the frame. Good DOF, sharp, and the BG compliments the Hornbill nicely. You have been turning out some excellent work Ken.
