Hi Andreas, a good looking hornbill and you have captured good detail. Nice and sharp, and wish he had turned his head slightly more towards you. I would also tone down the BG a touch.

Beautiful bird. Nice details, shooting angle. I like that there is clean BG behind the bird's upper body. exposure looks very good as well.

A small step to your left would have made it even better. It would have taken the OOF branch a bit away from the head. If mine, I'd have some mroe space on top and a little less below.
